New York, NY – Last night at The Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th St), Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’, the American showbusiness legend’s landmark musical tribute to the artform that defined his life, returned to Broadway 41 years after the original smash-hit production took its final bow. The production’s direction and musical staging is by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento, one of the stars of the original Broadway production, and is produced in cooperation with Nicole Fosse. Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’ will officially open on Sunday, March 19.

To commemorate the first performance, the production has released a never-before-seen short film of the musical number, “Dancin’ Man.” The film was directed by Wayne Cilento with assistant direction by Tim Grady. Filmed by Harry McFann, Tim Grady and Shayla Benoit and edited by McFann.

The film is available for download here.

DANCIN’ is Fosse’s full-throated, full-bodied celebration of dancers and dancing. Utterly reimagined for the 21st century, this DANCIN’ brims with a level of warmth, emotion, and color seldom seen in modern interpretations of Fosse’s influential style and features some of his most inventive and rarely performed choreography. With New York’s hottest cast performing wall-to-wall dance, including Fosse classics such as “Mr. Bojangles,” and “Sing Sing Sing.” DANCIN’ delivers the quintessential Broadway experience for Fosse fans and first-timers alike.
