American Dance Machine and York Theatre Company are collaborating on a new dance show re-creating iconic moments in Broadway and movie-musical history with Gotta Dance, set to perform November 25-December 28. The production will reconstruct choreography from Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, Gene Kelly, Michael Bennett, Susan Stroman, Billy Wilson, and more, featuring numbers that originated in West Side Story, A Chorus Line, Pippin, Singin' in the Rain, and White Christmas, among others.

Presented in association with Riki Kane Larimer and conceived by Nikki Feirt Atkins, the production will feature music direction by Eugene Gwozdz and direction by Atkins and Randy Skinner.

Gotta Dance is part of the York's newly announced 2025-2026 season, which will open with the world premiere musical This Is Not a Drill, performing September 9-October 11. Based on true events as experienced by co-book writer Holly Doubet, the work centers on a 2018 fiasco in which a mistakenly activated emergency alert made the residents and visitors of Hawaii believe a nuclear bomb was headed their way. Doubet has written the book with Joseph McDonough, and she collaborated on the score with Kathy Babylon and John Vester. Paul Bogaev will serve as music supervisor for the upcoming production, with David John Madore as music director. Gabriel Barre is directing.

Also making its world premiere with the company is Stephen Weiner and Peter Kellogg's Monte Cristo, performing March 10-April 5, 2026. Based on the Alexandre Dumas novel, the work follows a man wrongfully imprisoned who returns home with his sights set on revenge. The musical features music by Weiner and a book and lyrics by Kellogg. Peter Flynn will direct, with choreography by Marcos Santana and orchestrations by David Hancock Turner.

The company will host its 33rd annual Oscar Hammerstein Award Gala November 10 at the Edison Ballroom, honoring four-time Tony-winning director Jerry Zaks with the Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theatre Award. Former board president, librettist, and lyricist Joan Ross Sorkin will receive the York Theatre Founders' Award.
