'''Thommie Walsh''' was born in [[Auburn, New York]], and began to study dance at age five at the Irma Baker School of Dance. When Irma retired, Thommie traveled to Syracuse NY weekly to continue his dance training under David Shields.

Walsh made his Broadway debut in the chorus of ''[[Seesaw (musical)|Seesaw]]'' in 1973, the same year in which he appeared in the disastrous Broadway flop ''[[Rachael Lily Rosenbloom (And Don't You Ever Forget It)]]'', which starred [[Ellen Greene]] and [[Anita Morris]].

In [[1975]] Walsh was invited by choreographer Tony Stevens to participate in a series of frank conversations among Broadway dancers, known as "gypsies," about their experiences, hopes, and dreams. The result was [[Michael Bennett]]'s ''[[A Chorus Line]]'' (1976), in which he originated the role of Bobby. The role of Bobby was in large part, based on his life and also used material from a comedy stand-up routine he used at the time.

Thomas Joseph "Thommie" Walsh III (March 15, 1950 – June 16, 2007) was an American dancer, choreographer, director, and author.

Biography[edit]

Thommie Walsh was born in Auburn, New York, and began to study dance at age five at the Irma Baker School of Dance. When Irma retired, Thommie traveled to Syracuse NY weekly to continue his dance training under David Shields. After high school, he majored in Dance and minored in Musical Theater at the Boston Conservatory of Music from 1968 - 1971, but left during his junior year, with an associates degree, to tour with Disney on Parade.[1]

He joined the national tour of Applause,[1] starring Lauren Bacall, and the company of The Ann-Margret Las Vegas Show. He was in the film version of Jesus Christ Superstar as the apostle Thaddeus. Walsh made his Broadway debut in the chorus of Seesaw in 1973.[2] Also in 1973 he appeared in the flop Rachael Lily Rosenbloom (And Don't You Ever Forget It), which starred Ellen Greene and Anita Morris, and did not officially open on Broadway after 7 previews.[3][4]

A Chorus Line[edit]

In 1975 Walsh was invited by choreographer Tony Stevens to participate in a series of frank conversations among Broadway dancers, known as "gypsies," about their experiences, hopes, and dreams. The result was Michael Bennett's A Chorus Line, in which he originated the role of Bobby. The musical opened on Broadway on July 25, 1975.[5] The role of Bobby was in large part based on his life [6] and also used material from a comedy stand-up routine he used at the time. (Samples: "I thought about killing myself, but then I realized to commit suicide in Buffalo is redundant." and "I used to break into people's houses. I didn't steal anything; I'd just rearrange their furniture.") He co-wrote a book with Baayork Lee, another Chorus Line cast member, about the musical's origins and evolution, entitled On the Line, published by William Morrow in 1990.[7][8]

He went on to direct Lucky Stiff Off-Broadway in 1988[12] the musical Always in 1997 (West End debut),[13] and A Broadway Baby at Goodspeed Opera House in 1984.[14]
