During December of 2002, Dr. Joseph Finucan served as the Cast Chiropractic Physician for the Broadway in Cincinnati, Lincoln Center Theatre production of contact at the Aronoff in downtown Cincinnati!

When contact opened in the tiny Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center, critics were hard pressed to define it.

A musical without singers? Well, no -- there's Robert Palmer, Dion and the Belmonts, and The Beach Boys to name a few.

A book musical with a minimum of talking? Yes, but Broadway's hottest director / choreographer wrote it with one of Broadway's most honored musical book writers.

Time Magazine flat out hailed contact for "kicking the dust off a tired old Broadway." They raved, "Contact is a trio of exquisitely tooled production numbers peopled with lonely hearts longing to reach out to someone, and when they finally touch, your own heart does all the singing necessary."

The show business bible, Variety, explained, "Contact reminds us that the language of romance is one of silences and gestures, swinging hips and smoldering looks, and altogether beyond the power of words alone."

A dance play? A dancical? Most critics settled for "WOW." WCBS-TV proclaimed contact "A giant leap forward for the American musical." And the American Theater Wing topped them all naming contact the winner of the 2000 Tony AwardŽ for Best Musical.
