Fall of 1990 I directed Jungle Book. I chose the orchestra score for " Bare Necessities" as the curtain call music. Opening night,  two little girls, spontaniously, started to sing as the curtain call started. In just a blink the entire audiance was singing.  The second night someone in the audiance again started singing as the music and curtain call started.  By the third performace the cast decided to go for it and join in on the sing along and just have fun. The remaining 12 peformances played out the same way. The cast did not care that they didn't get individual bows, they were having fun!! I have never staged a curtain call like it. Actually, I didn't stage it all, it just happened.  Pretty sure I do not want every curtain call to go as the one for that run of shows did. Made me just a liitle crazy at first, but I have to admit they all had fun!!!!! Incredible connection between cast and audiance.

That's a great story. Made me smile as I imagined it happening.

I remember reading somewhere that Duval was an accomplished tango dancer 

Learned the Tango while filming the movie, Assassination Tango.  Ended up marrying his dance partner / teacher.  Says they still dance the Tango every day.  Pope Francis gave up Tango to enter the priesthood.  Wonder where the world would be if he entered the priesthood and kept dancing Tango?
