LENNIE WATTS (Man in Chair) is beyond thrilled to be back at Theatre By The Sea! It’s been way too long — 10 years actually. You might remember him as Nicely Nicely in Guys and Dolls, Pseudolus in …Forum, Jinx in Forever Plaid, or Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Perhaps you saw a show he directed: Godspell, Dames at Sea, or Joseph… Or maybe you got drunk in the cabaret as he sang about farm animals. For those who don’t know who the heck he is, visit www.lenniewatts.com. “For Mom and Dad, who are watching from the best seats in the house.”
