Roundabout Theatre Company will produce a revival of Bob Fosse's Dancin' late next season at Studio 54. Ann Reinking, who danced in the original production, and Nicole Fosse, daughter of Gwen Verdon and the legendary director-choreographer, will serve as creative consultants.
The production is scheduled to begin previews April 17, 2009, and open May 5. A national tour is also planned and would start in the fall of '09. The cast will be announced shortly, a news release stated.
A tribute to the classical art of dance, the show premiered in 1978 and ran for 1,774 performances and more than four years. It was nominated for a Tony Award for best musical, and Fosse won the Tony for best choreography. Reinking and Wayne Cilento each received Tony nominations for best featured actress and actor.
