Fosse's 'Dancin' Comes To Roundabout in Spring '09

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director), in association with Greg Young, Elaine Krauss, Dancap Productions and Richard Levi, is proud to present a new Broadway production of Bob Fosse's Dancin', directed by Graciela Daniele.  Dancin' will begin previews April 17th, 2009 and open officially Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54th Street).  This will be a limited engagement on Broadway.  A national tour of  Dancin' will open in the fall of 2009.

Bob Fosse's original choreography will be recreated by his career-long assistant and dancer Kathryn Doby.  In addition, creative consultation will be provided by Nicole Fosse (Bob Fosse's daughter) and Ann Reinking (original cast member).

The design team will include original design team members Peter Larkin (sets), Willa Kim (costumes), and Jules Fisher (lights & projections).  Additional creative team members include Jonathan Deans (sound).

The cast will be announced shortly.

Dancin' is legendary director/choreographer Bob Fosse's classic tribute to the art of dance.  This production marks its return to the stage for the first time in a generation.  The essence of Fosse will take center stage in this loving recreation of his original production.  Fosse was one of the greatest and most influential figures in dance and theatre history, with works including Cabaret, Chicago, Sweet Charity , Lenny, Star 80, and Pippin, as well as two Tony Awards, three Emmys and an Academy Award®.

Dancin' features an evening of dance set to hit songs from the pop music cannon.

Dancin' premiered on Broadway in 1978 at the Broadhurst Theatre under the direction of Bob Fosse.  The award winning production played almost 2,000 performances and earned a Best Musical Tony Nomination.  Bob Fosse won the Tony Award for his Choreography.

Tickets will be available in early 2009, by phone at (212) 719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Studio 54 Box Office (254 West 54th Street). Dancin' will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:00PM with a Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinee at 2:00PM.
