The Original Adam Garcia
HOT SHOE SHUFFLE

Adam appeared in HSS from 1992 - touring for 2 years in Australia and then 6 months in the UK in 1994 at the Queens Theatre in London's West End. This page carries all the news from the Production.

Plot Outline

Set in the 1940's, the story of the 7 Tap Brothers, who find out at the reading of their father's will that to collect the fortune he has left them - they have to re-produce their father's act and include their very tall and clumsy sister - who they never knew existed.  The show follows the rehearsal schedule with the second half being the performance of the HSS including some great traditional tap dance sequences.

Adam's Character

Adam played Slide - the youngest Tap Brother - sweet innocent and as usual the brunt of most of his brother's japes and rough 'n'tumble!

Who else was in the cast?

  • David Atkins as Spring (who also directed and choreographed the show)
  • Rhonda Burchmore as April
  • Dein Perry as Slap (co-choreographer and Adam's mate)
  • Sheldon Perry as Tap (Dein's younger brother)

Classic Adam Moments

Adam's first on-stage Backflips - he did two in this show - start of the back problems perhaps.

Adam getting hit in the face by a door - and staggers around dazed before falling to the floor KO'd

First Hangover (on-stage that is) after trying booze for the first time.

What Adam says about HSS

I had plans to go into biology or animal behaviour but Dein changed all that when he came up with HSS.  I said I would defer uni for a year, and my parents were happy with that.  I  just meant to do the show and get it out of my system.

Hot Shoe Shuffle was tough but I was only 19 at the time, fit and young.
