Donna McKechnie is such an amazing talent! As a high school senior, listening to her on the "A Chorus Line" original cast recording in 1976, I felt confident that I had the ability to succeed. All I needed was someone, maybe just me, to believe in me...

PS: SHE IS ALSO, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, AN ALUMNI ACTRESS FROM THE DARK SHADOWS TV SHOW WHICH RAN ON ABC-TV FROM 1966-1971. SHE HAS SEVERAL MORE KZfaq INTERVIEWS CHATTING ABOUT HER TIME ON DARK SHADOWS & HER COMMENTS ARE FUN TO LISTEN TO & NOSTALGIC. CHEERS TO MS. MCKECHNIE, A TRUE TRIPLE THREAT AS SHE WAS A FAMOUS DANCER FROM "A CHORUS LINE," AND A CHOREOGRAPHER & ACTRESS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU MS. MCKECHNIE,YOUR BODY OF WORK IS EXCEPTIONAL & YOUR PAST ACTING ON DARK SHADOWS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, ALTHOUGH YOU WERE NOT ON THE SHOW FOR THAT LONG. CHEERS!

Im back. Most know this i assume, in original previews of ACL Donna as Cassie was NOT chosen for the final eight in winning a spot. As an X girlfriend of Zach he as director let her audition...barely. Married couple Neil Simon and actress Marsha Mason after seeing a preview performance went backstage and told Michael Bennett the ending wes terribly sad, Cassie should have been chosen! They changed the course of history for the show and Donna, after Michael changed the ending.

Thank you for sharing this with us but my god talk about out of synch...Whoa. Kinda makes a person seasick almost. Donna McKechnie is a powerhouse performer as an accomplished Singer, Dancer and Actress. The 'Triple Threat' moniker is well deserved in her case !
