The Barrow-Civic Theatre had a special guest this weekend for its "A Taste of 70s Musicals."  

​Niki Harris, who appeared in "A Chorus Line" on Broadway, was invited by a friend to attend the show with her husband.
​
She came equipped with her original top hat from the show and a photograph of her with the Broadway cast that included Tommy Tune.

She met with the cast of the Barrow's musical variety show to tell a little about herself and how she got to Broadway. She also posed with many them for a photo.

In return, they surprised her with a birthday cake and a round of the Happy Birthday song.
