==Early life==
David Hodgson (later named David Connolly) was born in 1968〔 in Sydney, Nova Scotia.〔 When he was born with a severe deformity of the legs, his mother Maureen Connolly took him to the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children (now called Shriners Hospitals for Children) in Montreal, Canada. Both his legs were amputated below the knee, with the hopes that Connolly would be able to walk without a limp on two artificial legs. He spent his first years in the hospital, becoming an outpatient at age five. His family moved to Waterloo, Ontario when he was eight years old.〔
Connolly sang in school choirs as a child, and became interested in dancing after seeing the play ''A Chorus Line''. Connolly has stated that "I had no flexibility in my ankles, my feet were dead bolted on, but I could learn the steps." In high school he sang and danced in local musicals and was also a member of Project People, a Kitchener-Waterloo performance troupe.〔 As a teenager he was accepted into the musical-theatre program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, concealing his disability. Says Connolly about his audition: "I think I was so happy doing what I loved, that no one noticed my feet. As a director, I try to get my actors to that same state of bliss - the joy of just being."〔
