Sean Cheesman News

This week's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE had a very Broadway feel to it with Josh Bergasse, the choreographer of the upcoming ON THE TOWN revival, staging a Top-20 routine to the show's anthem 'New York, New York' (the one by Bernstein, Comden, and Green, not Kander and Ebb). As we learned last week, this season's winner will earn a spot in the musical's ensemble. While some people, including @Actor_Friend, don't like this idea, remember, the last network show to give away roles on Broadway brought us Laura Osnes, so let's reserve judgment, just in case a reality show brings us more Broadway royalty this time.

Broadway veterans Deidre Goodwin (A CHORUS LINE, CHICAGO, NINE, and THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW), Brad Anderson (ALL SHOOK UP, FOSSE, and THE BOY FROM OZ), and Sean Cheesman (judge and choreographer from TV's So You Think You Can Dance?) are among the professional guest teaching artists for the TexARTS Summer Musical Theatre Academy production of GREASE, June 9 - 30.

After clinching a spot in the top 20 for CBC's OVER THE RAINBOW - the televised search for Dorothy - contestants arrived from all across Canada to be put through their paces at Dorothy Farm. Following their arrival, Canada's Top 20 Dorothys traveled to Dorothy Farm, located in beautiful Bethany Hills, ON, vying for a Top 10 spot on the show. Check out photos from the trip below!
