As the production poises to open April 28, get a first look at the new revival of Bob Fosse's Dancin', currently playing San Diego's Old Globe with Broadway reportedly in its sights. The California run is scheduled to continue through May 29.
Produced in cooperation with Nicole Fosse and by special arrangement with Joey Parnes, the production re-creates Fosse's original Tony-winning choreography from the 1978 Broadway musical and features direction and musical staging by Wayne Cilento, who received a Tony nomination for his performance in the original Broadway company. The new production of the dance musical, which features an eclectic songlist from Neil Diamond to George M. Cohan, sees Cilento reimagining Fosse's original production, bringing its vision into the 21st century. Playwright and fellow Dancin' cast alum Kirsten Childs is billed as the production's text consultant and is providing additional material.
The company includes Ioana Alfonso (Wicked), Yeman Brown (Jagged Little Pill), Peter John Chursin (Wicked), Dylis Croman (Chicago), Tony d’Alelio (This Ain’t No Disco), Jōvan Dansberry (King Kong), Karli Dinardo (Moulin Rouge!), Ashley Blair Fitzgerald (The Cher Show), Jacob Guzman (West Side Story), Manuel Herrera (Wicked), Gabriel Hyman (King Kong), Kolton Krouse (Cats), Mattie Love (Wicked), Krystal Mackie (Hamilton), Yani Marin (Wicked), Nando Morland (West Side Story), Khori Michelle Petinaud (Aladdin), Ida Saki (In the Heights), Michaeljon Slinger (Hello, Dolly!), and Ron Todorowski (Finding Neverland).
