I totally ripped this off, and I am happy to admit it. Not wanting to be forced to do Doubtfire again on COI (I felt the audience still deserved something new), I started to think, “what does Tom Collins like?” I knew he really enjoyed the old shows, which made me think of the Sweeneys. I remember watching them as a kid, an older couple skating around to slow music. A light fell from the ceiling onto the ice! A spotlight desperately picked it up in hopes that the couple wouldn’t run into it. Sure enough they did, and the audience gasped. Then her wig fell off! I remember feeling so incredibly bad for them…and then his pants fell down, and finally we all knew that we had been had! I was really blown away that they fooled me so well! So I learned how to spray my hair and make myself look old, and put the number together.

I can’t tell you how much I crack up when I tank the first time and hear the audience gasp. I unfortunately taped over all the performances during COI, so here is club show that I skated that wasn’t one of my best performances of this routine.
