About

One remarkable dance team. One big chance. One small twist. You gotta be over 60.
 
From the director/choreographer of Kinky Boots comes the incredible true story of ten determined dreamers who audition to dance at half time for a major NBA team. They have three things in common: they love to dance, they have something to prove, and they are all over 60. It isn’t until they make the cut that they find out they won’t be dancing tap, salsa or swing—they are going to bring down the house with a style that’s entirely new to them: hip hop. Don’t miss this original Broadway-bound musical about a group of ordinary seniors with extraordinary dreams as they battle pain, prejudice, self-doubt and each other for a chance to bust a move at center court in front of 20 thousand screaming fans.

    by Shroga on 1/19/16The PrivateBank Theatre - Chicago

    I wasn't expecting much - even thought I would cancel. BUT it was so much fun! We laughed and smiled and talked about the play for hours. My only regret is that my friends all missed it. It was relevant and FUN!!!

    What an outstanding show! Excellent performances. They sang and danced with passion, enthusiasm and TALENT. The story and lyrics were funny, poignant, touching and uplifting. I hope it has a long run on Broadway and beyond.

    Gotta Smile

    by Doc3912 on 1/19/16The PrivateBank Theatre - Chicago

    Anyone attending Gotta Dance has simply gotta smile. The show is fun. While I did not leave the theater with the euphoria I felt at the end of its cousin Kinky Boots, I do think the show boosts the morale of all who attend.

    I wanted to take everyone I know!

    by WeddingsbyAngelique on 1/19/16The PrivateBank Theatre - Chicago

    Literally, after the play, I called my grandmother, aunts, mom, cousins, especially every wise and mature woman. I think it is a beautiful way to express what takes place in a woman's life. Young girls will appreciate it also and will recognize the words that they hear in the play. My 15 year old daughter was hesitant but as soon as the lights went on, she said, "Mom, I really liked that! It was sooo much better than I expected it to be. It made me think of grandma!"

    A very enjoyable musical,

    by JEK60201 on 1/19/16The PrivateBank Theatre - Chicago

    We decided to go based on early audience reviews and were not disappointed. Gotta Dance is a very enjoyable musical, with touches of Kinky Boots and even A Chorus Line.The cast was excellent from the four principals to the swing performers, with a special shout-out to Haven Burton who played the 27 yo coach, excellent singer and dancer. It;s not a heavy-message musical but it does touch on a few of the pains of getting older, especially in The Waters Rise. Overall it's definitely a feel-good time. And when Georgia Engel smiles, it's Georgette, so wonderful.

    Exciting play not senior play!!!

    by GirlsNightontheTown on 1/18/16The PrivateBank Theatre - Chicago

    Yes, it made us all want to dance now and often. The stage production was great for the stadium closing and made you feel like you were there watching the game at half time. This play crossed the ages and nationalities. Made you want to live.

    Gotta Dance was hilarious!

    by marycupcakes on 1/18/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    It is a very funny, entertaining show. The cast is an eclectic group of characters with varied talents that pull you in to the heart of the show. As always, Georgia Engle gives a great performance. The audience's response to the action was loud and clear that everyone was having fun watching "Gotta Dance"..

    This was so fun that I could watch it again and again. I noticed that the young crowd and the older crowd could both elated and both laughing non stop. It was both funny and inspiring. A great story. Every performer was excellent!I thoroughly enjoyed it!

    Gotta Dance was awesome!

    by bigfan73 on 1/17/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    Strong cast. Every actor unique and interesting. Fabulous music. Wonderful lyrics. Outstanding dance. (Nancy Ticotin as Camilla is AMAZING!!!!) I fell in love with every character. I would see this again in a heartbeat...and bring others. The rest of audience seemed to agree with me. Look out Broadway. A HIT is headed your way.

    Gotta Dance was amazingly fun!

    by Icantsing on 1/17/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    My sister and I absolutely loved Gotta Dance. Every character was cast so perfectly. We were laughing so much our faces hurt! Yet there were times that tears came to our eyes. The music and dancing was energetic and fun to listen to and watch. I'm sorry I first saw it just before it was leaving town. I would definitely have gotten a group of friends to come see it again if I had seen it earlier in its run.

    Such a fun show!

    by OurFabFam on 1/17/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    We went to see Gotta Dance, because we were huge fans of Kinky Boots. Both are such fun shows! If Gotta Dance were a musical on DVD, I'd watch parts of it every day. Our only regrets are that we didn't also bring my father and our small children. The upbeat dancing and singing is for all to enjoy! Thank you!

And I am now crushing on Georgia Engel!!! So adorable and GREAT moves along with perfect comedic talent. We can't wait to see it again, on Broadway!

    Gotta Dance was the best

    by hallie03 on 1/16/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    I went with a friend. We had the most wonderful time and laughed and cried with the other audience members and the cast. It was joyous and compelling. I was especially moved by the character whose husband has altzheimers I am dealing with that with my mother. I would recommend it highly, especially for someone who thinks life is over at retirement, no matter what their age.

    Lots of fun

    by Lewyk on 1/16/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    A very entertaining show. No, it's not Guys and Dolls or West Side Story, and you probably won't remember any of the tunes, but the casts enthusiasm makes up for the light weight book.

    Gotta Dance for the young at heart o

    by Gigitaylor on 1/16/16Bank of America Theatre - Chicago

    Sit back and laugh at the senior citizen stereotypes portrayed but then overcome in this enjoyable musical. Never underestimate the power of will & determination. A good time for sure.
