The unexpected side effects of her adventure include discovering true love and building the world's first roller disco. The show features hit songs by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John, including "Magic," "Suddenly," "I Am Alive" and "Xanadu." Learn More

The play closed on the 9th and I am so glad I got to see it!Written on Dec 10 2007
I brought to the play memories of the New York City Ballet Company under Ballenchine that the play tapped into but the man next to me from Pittsburg, had no previous experience and enjoyed the play very much.

More Information About The Studio
Description
The world of dance leaps onto the stage in this East Coast premiere. In a bare, mirrored studio high above Broadway, a well-known choreographer with a highly guarded private life, creates a new work for two dancers—a veteran who’s seen it all, and a newcomer who wants it all. Secrets are exposed and the stakes become increasingly personal when the artists reveal just how far they’ll go to achieve success. Combining dance, music, and text, The Studio throws open the doors of the rehearsal room revealing a passionate, sexy world where dancer and choreographer come together to create art and ultimately discover themselves.
Written, directed and choreographed by Christopher d’Amboise
With Stephen Lee Anderson, Tyler Hanes and Chryssie Whitehead
