A Definite Ten

Like a wonderful Broadway play, FOOTNOTES keeps its audience spellbound from the opening scene. This beautiful memoir is deeply moving, extremely interesting, and at times, delightfully humorous. All of Tommy Tune's stories, from dance recitals and backyard musical productions of his childhood to his personal relationships and professional triumphs in New York, are fascinating. Generosity and loyalty are abundant as he praises many who have influenced and supported his artistry as well as those who have contributed to his personal sense of well-being. In the theatre, Tommy Tune has always enlightened us with beauty and truth, and he does it again in this book as he bares his soul so we can see the truth in his heart. What we discover is a caring, compassionate man of integrity who also happens to be an artistic genius. I didn't want this book to end. ....

A Piece of Tommy Tune's Heart

Footnotes was one of the most honest and heartwarming memoirs I have ever read. Tommy Tune's honesty and openness with his readers is incredible. He has definately shared a part of himself with all of us. This kind and generous man is tops with me. While reading Footnotes I laughed, cried, and truly came to know this wonderful man. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

A Great Book!!!!!!

This is a wonderful book. It is written with such a casual and relaxed tone. It tells of Tommy's professional experiences and all of the wonderful people he has worked with including Twiggy and Lucie Arnaz. A wonderful "must'have" book.

What a heartwarming memoir

I have always admired Tommy Tune and this was a treat to read about him in his own words. It was very well written and lavishly illustrated with photos of Tommy and his friends/co-workers. It was a very quick read but very rich in insights. One insight that especially angered me was his experience interacting with Lucie Arnez and was happy they worked it out. I am very glad he exposed his soul to the world and will treasure this book

An open,honest view into the heart of Tommy Tune

I just finished reading "Footnotes," and literally could not put it down until I finished the last page. Even today ( the next day) I'm still thinking about the thoughts and events that has shaped the life of such a talented, sincere human being. Tommy Tune speaks about being different and this book rewards those of us who are different, for we all are, even though others fail to realize that. Thank you Tommy Tune, for opening up your heart and mind and letting us have a rare glimpse into the life and love of a true "mensch."
