Chris Dykes' love of musical theatre is apparently older than his memory of it, as Mom insists that he sat in awed attention while watching Hello, Dolly! at the age of 3. He does recall begging his parents for repeated movie outings to see The Sound of Music, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Mary Poppins, and although this Julie Andrews fixation.-complete with attempts to fly by means of an umbrella held over the air conditioning unit.-eventually ran it's course (in college), his love of Broadway and film musicals has never wavered. Chris is a 20-year resident of Austin, Texas where he has donated many hours to the non-profit Austin Circle of Theatres and is currently risking heat stroke to train for the Chicago marathon. His master's degree in clinical psychology rarely comes in handy at Dell where he works as a software project manager. He has enjoyed volunteering in various capacities for Broadwayworld.com since shortly after its launch in 2003.

  QUICK POLL
Neil Diamond recently refunded money to fans that saw him in concert on a night he was too sick to sing well. Would you feel entitled to a refund if you saw a Broadway star perform on a night he/she was obviously sick or vocally tired?
Yes, I’d rather see an understudy or be offered a refund or exchange than to see a star too ill to perform well.
No, that’s what happens in live theatre. Just bear with it and admire the star’s work ethic.
