The musical is the true story of 10 determined dreamers who audition to dance at half time for a major basketball team. They have three things in common: they love to dance they have something to prove and they are all over 60 years old.
Only after making the cut do they learn they won’t be dancing tap, salsa or swing — instead they will bring down the house with a style that is new to them: hip-hop. Along the way through mentorship and friendship they battle self-doubt, stereotypes and even each other for a chance to bust a move at center court in front of 20,000 screaming fans.
Tickets, which are non-refundable, cost $26 in advance, $28 at the door, $40/$45 for cabaret seating, $18/20 for children.
