Tony Award-winning A Chorus Line star Donna McKechnie will perform in the newly launched Broadway Series at the Springside Inn in upstate New York.

The new dinner theatre series is dedicated to the memory of late Tony-winning Broadway veteran and original Chorus Line cast member Thommie Walsh. The three-show series features performances that were staged by Walsh prior to his death in 2007.

Walsh's sister Barbara Walsh, Baayork Lee and Merete Muenter produce the engagements in Auburn, NY.

First up will be Kooky Tunes, performed by Patrick DeGennaro, Vanessa A. Jones, Perry Payne, Jay Rogers and Keith Thompson, "who will present their own special mélange of comic tales and tunes." (March 26-27, 2010).

Following, McKechnie will offer her one-woman show about life on stage and off (April 9-10, 2010). The final presentation will be a cabaret performance from Julie Budd (April 23-24, 2010).
