The curtain rises, the crowd goes wild, and the bright lights of Broadway shine down as you make your debut on opening night…it’s every Broadway baby’s dream. But you may be surprised to learn that a show’s journey to the Great White Way can be months, or even years, in the making. How does a […]
It was only a matter of time before dance super couple Sara Mearns and Joshua Bergasse did a major project together. After all, the newlyweds first met when Mearns, a New York City Ballet star, was being considered for a part on the TV show “Smash,” which Bergasse was choreographing. They hit it off, but […]
…Everybody wins! The Wall Street Journal recently recruited three of our favorite choreographers to create touchdown dances for NFL stars (because why the heck not), and the results are straight-up hilarious. To say more would honestly just spoil the fun, so give this vid a watch—because Charlie and the Chocolate Factory‘s Joshua Bergasse, Come From […]

The 2015 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by the ever-glamorous Broadway (and TV and movie) star Mary Louise Parker and Bruce Willis (whom you know as “Dancing with the Stars” front-runner Rumer Willis‘ dad). And guys, there are so many […]
Think classic Broadway, and the tune “New York, New York” from On the Town probably comes to mind. Based on Jerome Robbins’ ballet Fancy Free, On the Town, with music by Leonard Bernstein, hit the Great White Way in 1944 and was later made into a movie starring Gene Kelly. This fall, On the Town […]
