"Summer is the time to rest and regroup in preparation for another fun year at the Follies--and yearly doctor exams. At this age health is priority."
When a Follies cast member suffered an injury 13 years ago, Randy Doney came in to rehearse on a Tuesday, and on Wednesday he was on stage for opening day. Randy, 72, is still here. His extensive career began right after high school in Chicago when he joined a national touring company of My Fair Lady. He landed in New York to appear in the original film version of The Producers.
His four Broadway shows included Camelot and La Cage Aux Folles. His feature films extended to Mame, Pennies from Heaven and Blazing Saddles. On television, he was with The Carol Burnett Show for 11 years, numerous high profile specials, starting with Bob Hope, and played a tap-dancing psychiatrist on Frasier.
Over the years, Randy has danced with Gene Kelly, Mitzi Gaynor, Cyd Charisse, Shirley MacLaine, Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera. He found time to produce fashion shows, was an associate director for Barry Manilow concerts, and choreographed the 10th anniversary season of the Follies.
He serves on the Board of Directors of the Professional Dancers Society.
