Web: https://dramabookshop.com/You’re invited to join us at the Drama Book Shop for a special in-person conversation with David “Tiger” Bean. As a former Jet in the original West Side Story movie, David’s career has spanned decades. His book, “When You’re a Jet,” is a richly illustrated memoir that offers a fascinating glimpse into his extraordinary life in the world of theater and beyond.
From tap dancing on the streets of Hollywood to Broadway performances as a young teenager, David Bean grew up in the world of theatre. He appeared in “Peter Pan” on Broadway with Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard. He danced in the London stage production of “West Side Story” and then performed in the 1961 film version starring Natalie Wood. Six decades later, Steven Spielberg chose David for a cameo in the remake of “West Side Story.” David and his wife Jean (also a talented dancer) performed over the years in numerous theatre and television shows together. Together, they also built a network of businesses with the passion of a couple on a mission. Hobnobbing with celebrities in New York, London, and Hollywood, they were comfortable building every passion into a business. Their success was pure theatre. David currently lives with his wife of sixty years in upstate New York ― and they can often be spotted at the Jeanie Bean & Family Deli and Café in Clinton Corners, NY
