Broadway and film choreography retrospective Gotta Dance! will return for an Off-Broadway encore run, this time at Stage 42 beginning March 20. Opening night will be March 31.

The work—co-directed by conceiver Nikki Feirt Atkins and Randy Skinner—played a limited run at Theatre at St. Jean's last year, produced by York Theatre Company. A celebration of the art of musical theatre dance on stage and screen, the production pays tribute to choreographers who shaped Broadway and Hollywood, featuring numbers reconstructed from West Side Story, White Christmas, Singin’ in the Rain, and more. The upcoming run will feature music arrangements by Eugene Gwozdz, who will also lead a live orchestra.

The dance company for the upcoming run will include Keely Beirne, Brandon Burks, Anthony Cannarella, Barton Cowperthwaite, Deanna Doyle, Sara Esty, Jessica Lee Goldyn, RJ Higton, Kate Louissaint, Libby Lloyd, Drew Minard, Cole Newburg, Melody Rose, Samantha Siegel, Ahmad Simmons, Landon Winslow, and Blake Zelesnikar. Casting is by ARC's Mark Brandon and Matt MacDonald. Casting for the earlier run was by The Casting Collaborative's Jason Styres.

The production will feature scenic design by Noah Glaister, costume design by Marlene Olson Hamm, lighting design by Ken Billington (Chicago) and Anthony Pearson (John Proctor is the Villain), projection design by Brian C. Staton (Becoming Dr. Ruth), and sound design by Peter Brucker. Andrew Winans is the associate director-choreographer, with Cathy Lubash Fogelman serving as associate choreographer. Drew Neal will be production stage manager.

Riki Kane Larimer is producing, with Joel Grossman as executive producer. Catalyst Theatricals' Laura Janik is serving as general manager.
