Mexican Shuffle, FOSSE

Gwen Verdon sadly passed away Oct 18, 2000 during the Broadway run of FOSSE. Lainie Sakakura wanted to honor and pay tribute to her memory by restaging a number she used to perform and that Gwen originally performed for a Bob Hope special. On Dec 4th and 5th , 2000 Lainie Sakakura, Alex Sanchez and JP Christiansen performed Mexican Shuffle (aka Tijuana Breakfast) at BCEFA’s Gypsy of the Year at the Palace Theatre, NYC. This number was passed down to Lainie from Gwen and existed in FOSSE before being cut out of town. This was the first and only time it has ever been performed in NYC. The original Mexican Shuffle pre-broadway FOSSE cast was Lainie Sakakura, Alex Sanchez and Sergio Trujillo.
Thank you Gwen❤️
