Many a young performer dreams of making their mark on the stage, and sometimes one is inspired to reach for their dreams in truly magical ways. That is exactly what happened to a young Joanna Richardson and Margaret Shepherd in 2001 when the Radio City Christmas Spectacular made its debut at Atlanta’s Fabulous Fox Theatre. Both young women, who did not know each other then, but who had each been studying dance for a number of years in their own corner of Metro Atlanta, sat in the darkened theatre amazed at the spectacle before them. Beautiful women were dancing on stage in amazing costumes with vibrant sets and festive music and both young girls decided, then and there, that they each wanted to be up on that stage with that historic and much beloved troupe. Today, these two young women have achieved their dreams and will be performing for their friends, family, and Atlanta audiences in the very theatre where they were inspired to take that leap (or rather kick) 8 years ago when The Radio City Christmas Spectacular returns to the Fox November 19 – December 6th. I had the chance to speak with Joanna and Margaret about their unique (yet similar) journeys to this most famous of kick lines. (more...)
