Musicals featured include Oklahoma! Damn Yankees, Singin’ in the Rain, Carousel, Billy Elliot, 42nd Street, On Your Toes, and West Side Story. Some of the pieces will include vocal accompaniment, and there will be narration by Beck in between pieces, to explain how the dances represent different eras in Broadway musical dance history. For example, two of the eight dance pieces (Oklahoma’s “Dream Ballet” and Carousel’s June is Busting Out All Over”) were originally choreographed by Agnes De Mille, whose invention of using dance to further the plot and to express the psychology of the characters historically changed the use of dance in musical theater. Other pieces originally choreographed by George Balanchine, Gower Champion, and Bob Fosse, each represent a unique slice of Broadway dance history.
