Thomas James Tune[1] (born February 28, 1939[2]) is an American actor, dancer, singer, theatre director, producer, and choreographer.

[4] Tune stands a lanky 6 feet 6+1⁄2 inches (199.4 cm) tall, and at first he found his height to be a disadvantage when auditioning for roles, as he would tower over potential co-stars.

In 1978, when the musical-comedy revue Hellzapoppin starring Jerry Lewis and Lynn Redgrave was having an out-of-town tryout, Tune was called in three weeks before the show's Broadway bow: he arrived in Boston on a Saturday to debut in a dance number on the following Monday.

(1969), directed by Gene Kelly and starring Barbra Streisand, The Boy Friend (1971) with Twiggy, and Mimì Bluette... fiore del mio giardino (1976) with Shelley Winters and Monica Vitti.

[10][11] Tune released his first record album, Slow Dancin', in 1997 on the RCA label featuring a collection of his favorite romantic ballads.

[13] He works often with The Manhattan Rhythm Kings, for example touring in a Big Band revue entitled Song and Dance Man and White Tie and Tails (2002).

[14] Tune performed in his musical revue, Steps in Time: A Broadway Biography in Song and Dance, in Boston in April 2008 and continuing in various venues from Bethesda, Maryland in January 2009 to California in February 2009.

"[19] In the eighteenth episode of the sixth season of The Simpsons, "A Star Is Burns," the citizens of Springfield are invited to make their own movies for a town film festival.

He further wrote about being openly gay in the world of theater; about losing his partner, choreographer David Steiger Wolfe, to AIDS in 1994, and about the unhappy ending of his relationship with A Chorus Line actor Michel Stuart.

[24] In September 2021, Tommy Tune was elected the honorary president of the American Guild of Variety Artists, the labor union for non-actor stage performers.
