Tommy Tune with Phineas P. Cat An Archive Moment from BraTenders NYC
This is an archived moment from the years of BraTenders NYC, a studio dedicated to intimate apparel consulting for Broadway, film, and television performers.
During its operation, BraTenders NYC had the honor of welcoming Broadway legend Tommy Tune, alongside the studio’s signature presence of Phineas P. Cat, into the space—creating a uniquely whimsical and memorable Broadway moment.
BraTenders NYC was built around private, transformative fittings where performers prepared for stage and screen with confidence and care. Encounters like this reflect the intersection of theater culture, artistry, and the personality-driven world behind the curtain.
This entry is preserved as part of the BraTenders NYC archive to honor its history within the Broadway community.
This is a historical archive entry. BraTenders NYC is no longer an active business.
