These Broadway veterans have worked with some of the best-known directors and creators in the business, including Michael Bennett, Bob Fosse, Hal Prince, Stephen Sondheim and Stephen Schwartz in shows such as "Annie," "Cabaret," "Follies" and "Pippin."

They were the inspiration for the characters ‘Al’ and ‘Christine’ in "A Chorus Line," and Boockvor was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in "Working."

They were recently included in director Rick McKay's "Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age," the second installment of a trilogy that tells the story of the legendary Broadway season of 1959, through the tumultuous '60s, the revolutionary '70s, up to the opening night of "42nd Street" in 1980.
