Grand Rapids Ballet Presents Ballet + Broadway

There’s no business like show business! Ballet + Broadway, features three theatrically themed works, taking inspiration from the theatre district of New York City. Remember Our Song, from Tony Award winner and Kennedy Center Award recipient Andy Blankenbuehler, choreographer of Hamilton, depicts the challenges of a love story a world apart, set during World War II featuring the big band music of the 1940s. Who Cares?, choreographed by George Balanchine, who also worked on Broadway, is an iconic work created originally for New York City Ballet, featuring famous tunes by George Gershwin such as “I’ve Got Rhythm” and “Embraceable You.” The final work, Jump Cut, is a World Premiere by Grand Rapids Ballet Resident Choreographer Penny Saunders, with inspiration from the Golden Age of old Hollywood.
