The Old Globe has announced a one-week extension for the Broadway-bound musical Bob Fosse's Dancin', with choreography by Bob Fosse and direction and musical staging by Tony Award-winning choreographer Wayne Cilento (Broadway's Wicked and The Who's Tommy). The production, which opened last Thursday, is now extended through June 5, 2022 only.

Tickets for the extension will be available starting Thursday, May 5 at 12:00 noon PDT. Tickets for all other performances are currently available at www.TheOldGlobe.org. The original Broadway production was created, directed, and choreographed by Bob Fosse. Bob Fosse's Dancin' is presented by The Old Globe, produced in cooperation with Nicole Fosse and by special arrangement with Joey Parnes.

"Bob Fosse's Dancin' is as electrifying and exciting a show as any the Globe has produced in its history," said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. "From its first preview, audiences have been on their feet cheering the show's exuberance and celebrating the thrilling talents of the remarkable company of dancers onstage. We are delighted to give more San Diegans the opportunity to enjoy this special show, and we look forward to sharing Fosse's genius, and the genius of Wayne Cilento's new production, with an even wider swath of theatregoers."

Bob Fosse's Dancin' is Fosse's full-throated, full-bodied celebration of the art form he loved, practiced, and changed forever. His hit musical masterpiece is reimagined by director Wayne Cilento, who starred in the original Broadway production of Dancin' and is transforming the show's original vision for 21st-century audiences. Dancin' brims with Fosse's warmth, emotion, color, and endlessly influential style rarely seen in modern interpretations of his work. Featuring an eclectic score that spans a multitude of musical genres and an extraordinary cast of Broadway's most accomplished dancers, Dancin' delivers the quintessential Broadway experience for Fosse fans and first-timers alike.
