Sean Hayes returns to Broadway this spring starring in Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright’s new play, Good Night, Oscar, directed by Lisa Peterson, at the Belasco Theatre.

Bob Fosse's Dancin' Producer's Picks

Music Box Theatre
239 West 45th Street

Join us for Bob Fosse’s Dancin’, which celebrates Fosse’s influential style and features some of his most inventive and seldom performed choreography. The show has been reimagined for the 21st century by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento, one of the stars of the original Broadway production, and produced in cooperation with Bob's daughter Nicole Fosse. You think you’ve seen dancing, but you’ve never seen Dancin’ like this!

All proceeds from our ticket sales will benefit Career Transition For Dancers and its companion program, The Dancers' Resource, two important Entertainment Community Fund programs providing support to dancers in all stages of their careers.
