New England. A student of the sky, waves, and snow-covered hills of  
Maine and Vermont, Connaway belonged to the generation that presented

his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is  
in the process of being made. Musical numbers include It Couldn't  
Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies.
