Tracy Jai Edwards & More Complete Cast of Broadway-Bound Gotta Dance

Tracy Jai Edwards (Legally Blonde) and more will complete the cast of the much-buzzed about Broadway-bound Gotta Dance. Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the new tuner will feature a book by Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin, music by Matthew Sklar and Nell Benjamin, with additional music by Marvin Hamlisch. Previews are scheduled to begin on December 13 at Chicago’s Bank of America Theatre.

The cast will also include Joanna Jones (NBC’s Sing Off), Madeleine Doherty (Gigi), Diane Findlay (Fish in the Dark), Lenora Nemetz (Gypsy), Jonalyn Saxer (Honeymoon in Vegas) and Kay Walbye (Urinetown). Rounding out the company will be Alexander Aguilar, Adinah Alexander, Sydni Beaudoin, Holly Ann Butler, Paula Castelon, Ari Groover, Colby Lewis, Lance Roberts, Elise Santora, Austin Scott III and Virginia Ann Woodruff.

Gotta Dance tells the true story of a group of professional dancers, who, in 2007, were tasked with getting a basketball team’s senior citizen dance troupe performance-ready for their center court hip-hop debut. Through an unlikely art form and some hot moves, generation gaps are crossed and friendships are formed.

The production stars the previously announced André De Shields, Georgia Engel, Lillias White, Stefanie Powers, Haven Burton, Lori Tan Chinn, and Nancy Ticotin.

The world premiere is set to end its limited engagement on January 10, 2016.
