Bob Fosse's DANCIN’ has returned to Broadway 41 years after the original smash-hit production took its final bow. The production is directed by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento, one of the stars of the original Broadway production, and produced in cooperation with Nicole Fosse.
Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’ is “an all-out spectacular celebration of Fosse’s passion and those who bring it so vividly alive on stage,” raves the Daily Beast. “A surefire crowd-pleaser, DANCIN' stars 22 of Broadway’s best dancers — watching them move is a thrill! This is Broadway, baby!” praises Entertainment Weekly. “Sexy, glamorous, sensual,” exclaims the Chicago Tribune.
DANCIN’ is Fosse’s full-throated, full-bodied celebration of dancers and dancing. Utterly reimagined for the 21st century, this DANCIN’ brims with a level of warmth, emotion, and color seldom seen in modern interpretations of Fosse’s influential style and features some of his most inventive and rarely performed choreography. With New York’s hottest cast performing wall-to-wall dance, including Fosse classics such as "Mr. Bojangles," and "Sing Sing Sing." DANCIN’ delivers the quintessential Broadway experience for Fosse fans and first-timers alike. You think you’ve seen dancing, but you’ve never seen DANCIN’ like this.
