Early in my career, I auditioned for a company of A Chorus Line that Baayork Lee was directing. After totally destroying the dance combo, she pulled me aside and said if I could come back and do it perfect she would hire me as Sheila. I never did, but always appreciated her compassion and belief that I would come back and twirl😂😂😂No one deserves this honor more than her. She has kept the legacy of A Chorus Line alive and been a stellar member of the "gypsy" community! Congrats on being honored with the 2017 Isabelle Stevenson Award at The Tonys🤗🤗🤗🤗#baayorklee #dancing #dancerslife #theatre #musicals #achorusline #asian #dancer
