"Dance on Broadway" ... plus MASTER THEATRE QUIZ with a first prize of a lifetime of theatregoing

[[2 columns]]

Balanchine and de Mille and Robbins brought ballet to Broadway and made choreography an essential element of a musical production. Micheal Kidd, Gower Champion and Bob Fosse contributed their own unique and electrifying styles. Michael Bennett gave us A Chorus Line, the consummate dance musical, which closed on April 28 after a record-breaking 15-year run. In this special Tony Awards issue of PLAYBILL you will read about them, as well as many other titans of "Dance on Broadway."
