The new Broadway revival of On The Town welcomed "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" winner and "America's Favorite Dancer" Ricky Ubeda to the cast last week for a limited engagement through April 26, 2015. Ubeda received the opportunity to join the cast as part of his prize for winning SYTYCD in September 2014.
Directed by John Rando (Tony Award for Urinetown) and choreographed by Joshua Bergasse (Emmy Award winner for "Smash") On The Town began previews on Saturday, September 20, 2014 and officially opened on Thursday, October 16, 2014 at Broadway's Lyric Theatre (213 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036).
Ricky Ubeda is originally from Miami, Florida where he began dancing at a young age. The majority of his dance training was done at Stars Dance Studio under the direction of Victor Smalley and Angel Armas. While attending Coral Reef Senior High School in 2014, Ricky auditioned for Season 11 of "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" and was eventually crowned the winner as "America's Favorite Dancer." Immediately following SYTYCD, Ricky participated in a 77-city nation wide tour. His accomplishments have been featured in Dance Spirit Magazine and he has been a live guest on "LIVE! with Kelly and Michael" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", to name a few. Ricky is also an emerging choreographer who brings his passionate and inspiring classes to young dancers across the nation.
