BURN THE FLOOR Takes Over W. 48th Street; Kerr Marquee Now Points To Longacre Theatre

BURN THE FLOOR has taken over West 48th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue! Broadway's hottest new show, BURN THE FLOOR sizzles away at the Longacre Theatre on West 48th Street and the heat is now engulfing the street. Its across-the-street neighbor is spreading the word too; The Walter Kerr Theatre marquee is now lit up with signs pointing the way to BURN THE FLOOR, marking the first time a Broadway theatre has advertised the show of a neighboring house.

Anya Garnis and PASHA KOVALEV of TV's "So You Think You Can Dance" join the stunning company of BURN THE FLOOR tonight Tuesday, August 18. BURN THE FLOOR opened August 2nd at the Longacre Theatre (220 W 48 Street), where it has broken house records for two consecutive weeks.

BURN THE FLOOR is created, directed and choreographed by Jason Gilkison; its 20 award-winning international dancers hail from Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia, Australia, Sweden, The Philippines and the U.S. - and include Australian Ballroom and World Latin American champions. It's Ballroom dance with a sexy 21st century edge.
