The Gingerbread House

Tharon Musser was THE GREAT ONE

I was amazed when I saw A CHORUS LINE for the first time. When Tharon and I first met I couldn't speak. I was so nervous, I just stared at her. Thank god Marilyn was there, she came to my resuce and made me feel so at ease. When I was older Tharon and I had a few drinks together and she told me all about working with Michael Bennett on CHORUS LINE, and other fantastic stories about the business. I loved her gruff voice, the swirl of cigarette smoke, and the way she talked about her work.
It was an honor to have known her.
