two reviews, from LeisureSuit.Net and Michael Sommers (Newhouse News Services), to the
REVIEWS page. Added an interview with Ann Hampton Callaway from TheatreMania.Com to her
page. Changed the site navigation table at the bottom of each of the main pages.
March 19, 2000 - I
apologize for all of the changes and confusion regarding the forum. VOY Forums has
resumed service, and has explained that they had major technical problems while upgrading
their systems, which caused sporadic availability for the past two weeks or so. So,
I have made VOY the forum again, since it appears that people are more comfortable with
this format than with the Casual Forum. I deleted the page entitled FORUM, and the
link to the forum is back under the SITE INDEX on the main page. (PLEASE
NOTE: I will keep the Casual Forum as a backup if it becomes necessary, and it
can be reached HERE.
No other link to this backup forum will be made, so if you cannot access VOY, you can
reach the Casual Forum at this link.)
I replaced all the graphic links on the main page back to text links. Added a news
item to the NEWS & EVENTS page.
March 16, 2000 - VOY Forums has become too unreliable, and it is too confusing to
keep going back and forth, so I changed the link on the FORUM page to the
Casual Forum,
which I would like to use from now on.
March 15, 2000 - Update
#1: Added the following new photos to the PRODUCTION PHOTOS page:
* It Don't Mean a Thing: PHOTO #2
* Throw That Girl Around/Show Me What You Got: PHOTO #3 and PHOTO #5
* Cry Me A River
Update #2: Added a page entitled WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT SWING! This page is
accessible at a link in the box of the same title on the MAIN page, or at the REVIEWS
page. The page contains quotes and excerpts from various reviews which I have been unable
to obtain. Also added a link to the REVIEWS page where you can read reviews of the
Original Broadway Cast Recording. Updated the COMING SOON page. Added an event to
the NEWS & EVENTS page. Added graphic icons/links to the MAIN page; added a
POLLS page - stop by and cast your vote!!
March 12, 2000 - Added a picture of Ryan Francois and Jenny Thomas to their
page; VOY Forums has resumed service. A separate FORUM page had been added
with links to the main Forum, which will be the VOY Forum, as well as to
the Casual Forum, which can be used if the VOY Forum does not work. Hopefully VOY will
remain reliable! Added an item to the NEWS page. Updated the
Song List.
March 11, 2000 - Added photos of Matt Hong, Dan Hovey, Scott Neumann, Lance
Bryant and Conrad Korsch to each of their pages; added a scan of a Swing! postcard
to the MISCELLANEOUS page; added screen captures from The Today Show (go to PHOTOS
page). Added an article from Playbill Online dated March 10, 2000 to the news page
regarding a new song added to the show for Laura Benanti.
March 10, 2000 - Added
links and re-organized the LINKS page; created a new forum with CASUAL FORUMS. Should VOY Forums resume
service, a link back to the archived forum may be added.
Added a reference to a review of the show by ATOMIC Magazine to the REVIEWS page; also
added a reference to a featured article in ATOMIC Magazine on the Casey MacGill page.
Updated the cast list, creating a separate section for former cast members (including Arte
Phillips and Erik Robison & Sylvia Skylar). Added new cast member Jermaine R.
Rembert (Swing). Updated Playbill bio for Laura Benanti.
COMING SOON: Screen captures from The Today Show appearance!
March 7, 2000 - Update #1: Added a link to an article (US Open Threepeat
at West Coast Swing America) to the Robert Royston & Laureen Baldovi page; added a
song/CD credit to the Dan Hovey page.

Styne, and Russell Bennett from

March 6, 2000 - Update
#1: Added pages for each of the members of the Gotham City Gates, but please note
that I am sill working on this section, and what I have so far is an extremely
limited compilation of their professional credits (I hope to find more information, and I
will certainly add it when I find it!). Added an event (Robert Royston's weekly
Cardio Swing! class) to the NEWS & EVENTS page. Added
FEATURED LINKS on the main page (be sure to check out these links!). Re-arranged the
Index page, and added a new graphic logo. Changed the site navigation by eliminating
the NEWS, ARTICLES & REVIEWS page. All links now lead directly to each of these three
pages separately. Added a background graphic to the Laura Benanti page.
Made minor text revisions throughout the site.
