Capitano Aldo Finzi in Tamara, Los Angeles’ longest running play (nine years); and the year-long Los Angeles production of 42nd Street (Shubert Theatre, Los Angeles). In Actors' Equity professional summer stock on both coasts, Lonnie co-starred as Spats Palazzo in Sugar with the late Arte Johnson, Marcellus in The Music Man with Peter Marshall, with Ginger Rogers in Coco, and with Elke Sommer in Irma La Douce. Lonnie’s live appearances include performances during the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World (WDW) in 30-minute stage shows reuniting some of the original Mouseketeers, who performed new numbers and a few recreated from the original series. Lonnie also wrote and choreographed the first of these appearances. As a promotion for the original Mickey Mouse Club’s return to television in the mid-1970s, Lonnie and other Mouseketeers appeared on Tomorrow, Tom Snyder’s national late night talk show from New York. Lonnie and three other Mouseketeers also visited Queens to appear at a Shea Stadium New York Mets game with Mickey Mouse, who was scheduled to throw out the first baseball. Instead, Mickey handed the ball to Lonnie, making him the only Mouseketeer to have thrown the opening ball for a Major League Baseball game. Mickey and Lonnie were together again in the 1980s when Disneyland promoted its extensively renovated New Fantasyland via a 10-stop Amtrak trip from California to New Orleans. Lonnie was the Disney spokesperson on local TV talk and news shows, children’s hospitals, schools, and in public meetings with city mayors and other officials. Lonnie’s films since his Ph.D. semester include Live a Little, Love a Little (Elvis), Sweet Charity, The Hospital, The Prisoner of Second Avenue, Copacabana, Pink Lightning, Hook, Lionheart, The Silence of the Hams (Italian: 'Il Silenzio dei Prosciutti'), Newsies, Mr. Saturday Night, Illicit Behavior, Police Academy: Mission to Moscow and Lots of Luck with Annette Funicello. While Lonnie and Annette had been in contact during the years after the Mickey Mouse Club, Lots of Luck marked the first and only adult acting appearance by two original Mouseketeers. In fact, Lonnie and Annette had been boyfriend-girlfriend on the first year of the Mickey Mouse Club, and had "gone steady" at a party for a few hours until her father found out and immediately made her give the ring back. But it was not until the 1994 publication of Annette’s autobiography, A Dream Is A
