Charleston Rehersal 1998
June 14, 1998
Rehersals for the Carnival '98 Summer tour took place over the pass few days in Charleston, SC at the North Charleston Coliseum. Someone who was among the 300-400 invited to a special rehersal performance said the sets were nice (island scenes) and Jimmy and crew even dressed up in carnival outfits. There is also going to be something new added to the show this year: a dancer who is 22 years old from NY.
