Sept 2018 - Dallas! THE CUBAN AND THE REDHEAD!

Danny Whitman and Robert Bartley are the co-creators and directors of this ambitious original piece. What an honor and a challenge to play Lucille Ball in this premiere at Eisemann Center in Dallas.

“Dance With Me” with STORM LINEBERGER as Desi Arnaz and LESLIE STEVENS as Lucille Ball

“Dance With Me” with STORM LINEBERGER as Desi Arnaz and LESLIE STEVENS as Lucille Ball

Played with hard-as-nails resilience by Leslie Stevens, the Lucille Ball of this musical ... does whatever it takes to get her name in lights - When skirt-chasing Arnaz falls in love with her, she responds with defensive and sometimes hilarious cynicism...
- her greatest moment [is] as a Buster Keaton-style clown... Stevens portrays winningly at the pivotal moment in the show
