How to Dance in Ohio is a “joyful and uplifting new musical” (Time Out New York) exploring the universal need to connect and the courage it takes to step out into the world. Based on the Peabody Award Winning Documentary, this “feel-good milestone” (The New York Times) follows a group of young adults and their families navigating change and preparing for a spring formal dance—a rite of passage that breaks open their daily routines in Columbus, Ohio. Starring seven autistic actors, How to Dance in Ohio is “an exuberant coming-of-age musical comedy with a superb cast” (The Wall Street Journal). Don’t miss “Broadway’s most original new musical” (The Daily Beast)!

Grammy Award and Tony Award-winning founder of Center Stage Records, Van Dean, said, “I couldn’t be more proud than to have How to Dance in Ohio be the first cast recording from our new label.  The show has broken new ground on Broadway and has moved us with its beautifully human story.  It also happens to be one of my wife, Alejandra’s, favorite musicals.”
