WATCH FOR THE OPENING OF OUR NEW KOSHER KITCHEN! KICKING page75 tion, Mr. Michael was able to teach theater at a local col- lege and continue producing his children's programs. In 1975, he went into his own business as a full-time concert promoter, concen- trating on dance companies. He moved on to producing Broadway shows for the road. Detroit became a stopover for many of those projects. "In 1989, there was a call out for a new senior produc- er at Radio City, and I ap- plied for the position and was thrilled to get it," Mr. Michael said. "I've been there ever since." While planning for the traveling anniversary ex- travaganza, Mr. Michael made stage size an important consideration. At the New York Music Hall, performers kick up their heels along a platform that extends 100 feet in width. The average width around the country is 50 feet. With each Rockette allot- ted two feet, the number of dancers going on tour was al- most predetermined. "We build the show so it fits on every stage scenical- ly and will look the same in every town," Mr. Michael said. Five trucks carry sets, lighting and sound equip- ment and elaborate costumes designed by Bob Mackie. "I'll probably visit the pro- duction in various locations," said Mr. Michael, referring to the more than 40 destina- tions on their schedule "I have friends in many cities, and I'm looking forward to seeing them and taking them to performances." As the remaining Rock- ettes continue their shows in New York, Mr. Michael plans for upcoming productions. A bachelor, he occasionally gets away to enjoy tennis, biking and horseback riding. "I attend a lot of theater be- cause I like to keep up to date on what's happening so I can bring a fresh point of view to the Music Hall," said Mr. Michael. "I think this road show will open a whole new world for the Rockettes, and I just want to be a part of all that." "The Great Radio City Mu- sic Hall Spectacular" will serve as a benefit for the Jew- ish Association for Residen- tial Care (JARC) at 8 p.m. Nov. 9, at the Fox Theatre.
