If this terrace were a theater, the city would be its stage.Tommy Tune, the famed 10-time Tony Award-winning choreographer, performer and director, has relisted his Manhattan penthouse for $2.9 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.The charming Beekman/Sutton Place dwelling comes with a dramatic, 2,075-square-foot terrace where Tune held some memorable soirées over the years.“I had a party for [the late actress] Carol Channing and 200 Broadway friends showed up,” Tune told Gimme by email.The penthouse, at 400 E.
