The team behind the recent viral tap versions of "Cups" and "Happy" are prepping for a new video release on Veterans Day next week. Scroll down for a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the dancers filming a "Salute to the Troops!"
The video will feature a never-before-heard remix by NY favorite, DJ Chelli, and was filmed aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The cast, performing as WWII Pilots and 1940s beauties, features Christopher Rice (The Book of Mormon, Broadway tours of West Side Story and White Christmas), Aaron Albano (Here Lies Love, Newsies, A Chorus Line, others), Clay Thomson (Matilda, Newsies, West Side Story tour, others), Natasha Scearse (White Christmas tour), Kelly Sheehan (42nd Street, White Christmas), and Sasha Hutchings (Hamilton Mixtape, Rocky, Motown, others).
