(34,616 posts)of Broadway work. Producing etc. I have not seen anything about him lately just a few things not long after Spring Awakening. He did a show based on the music of Green Day called American Idiot. Producer I believe. I cannot remember much else at this point in time though, I am certain there must have been more.

(38,361 posts)Curiously, Bagdad is a genuine Route 66 ghost town in the Mojave desert and the original Bagdad Cafe blew away with the rest of Bagdad; I believe a single palm tree planted next to the razed train station is all that remains.
The film was shot at what was then the Sidewinder Cafe in Newberry Springs, California, 50 miles west of the original site of Bagdad on old U.S. 66. They changes the name of the Sidewinder Cafe to Bagdad Cafe to capitalize on the notoriety and propagate a lot of quirkiness.

And I remember it's a favorite of yours.
Niagara
(10,586 posts)The actor playing "Buddy Repperton" is William Ostrander. He ran for the Democratic Party for an election to the California State Assembly in 2018 but lost the race.
Yes, you are correct. "Christine" is in my Halloween rotation!

However, he took one summer course at Tamalpais High School (machine shop) and was entered onto the Tam alumni reunion list. When his class reunion came up the committee sent out a ‘Have you seen?’ list. One of the missing persons was Hugh Anthony Cregg.
