Lord, who is helping to plan the
benefit as well as perform, will be
working on a range of numbers that
will be very different from the ones
in South Pacific.
The variety show starts at 7:30
p.m. Monday, March 4, and the
price of a ticket includes an afterglow.
"This will be the sixth year MJAC has
sponsored the fund-raiser," says Arlene
Sorkin, MJAC executive director.
"Last year, the event raised $28,000."
Each year, all the performers in
one touring company are asked to
participate.
We will do 'If We Only Have Love'
for the finale," says Lord, who will
accompany the entire cast, including
leads Michael Nouri and Erin Dilly, to
the temple for a day of rehearsal before
the production begins. "I've performed
for similar benefits sponsored by
Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS."
Lord, who worked at Annette and
(Corner of 12 Mile Rd.]
Company from 1985-93, has been in
other touring shows that have
stopped in Detroit. He was in
Chicago as the court reporter and
understudy for Alan Thicke, putting
him in a lead role on many occasions.
Lord plans to perform "Who Will
Love Me as I Am?" from Side Show.
"It's a song about tolerance, and I
think that's important to people
infected with AIDS," the dancer says.
— Suzanne Chessler
