Allison Bibicoff

Allison studied dance and theatre at UCLA, and graduated magna cum laude. Her acting work included recurring roles on two TV series and a co-starring role in a film with James Franco. Dance performance highlights included swing dancing at The Hollywood Bowl alongside Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, a featured swing and Latin dancer in the national tour of SWING!, and entertaining U.S. troops in Bosnia and Kosovo.

Allison moved into directing and choreography, and has received much recognition for her work: She has received an LA Drama Critic’s Circle Nomination for her choreography in THE WHO’S TOMMY, two LA Weekly Award Nominations for her work on GODSPELL and 1776, and two Garlands for SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD (nomination) and THE WHO’S TOMMY (award). Allison was the assistant choreographer for XANADU on Broadway, which received four Tony nominations, including Best New Musical and Best Choreography, and was honored to work with Tony winner Kathleen Marshall on APPLAUSE at City Center Encores! in NYC, starring Christine Ebersole. In 2013, Allison received a slew of rave reviews for her direction of AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS at ICT in Long Beach. The show was the LA Times Critics Choice, and reviewers called her work “a feat of notable capability, “innovative,” “cleverness personified” and “superb, right on target.”

For the past several years, Allison has focused her attention on directing new plays and musicals. IN 2014, she directed and choreographed the West Coast premiere of the hilarious new musical CHINA, THE WHOLE ENCHILADA (by Mark Brown - the same writer who adapted the 80 DAYS she recently worked on).

Allison also wrote, directed and line produced two web series about swing dance, and executive produced two TV movies for The Hallmark Channel – both garnered outstanding ratings. Much more at www.AllisonBibicoff.com
