Wait for it: Abigail Breslin, the hero of Little Miss Sunshine, will star as the character Baby in a TV-musical remake of the iconic 80s film Dirty Dancing. She can act, and she can sing.

Confession: When I found out Aladdin was coming to Broadway, I was completely uninterested. With the exception of the ever-brilliant Newsies, Disney on Broadway isn’t really my thing.

Zachary Levi and Krysta Rodriguez in First Date (by Joan Marcus) It’s no secret that we love Broadway musicals at Dance Spirit.

The super-clever show, still in previews, blends believable characters and smart pop-culture […]
