Hooray for Tommy Tune! American Dance Machine Takes On The Will Rogers Follies with Original Stars

American Dance Machine for the 21st Century (ADM21), the reboot of the legendary Broadway choreography restoration project American Dance Machine, has launched its latest video. Led by Tony Award winner Cady Huffman, a group of some of the finest stage dancers recreate “Our Favorite Son,” the Cy Coleman (music), Betty Comden and Adolph Green (lyrics) showstopper from Tommy Tune’s Tony-winning 1991 musical triumph The Will Rogers Follies.
