The show-stopper of Bob Fosse’s award-winning Broadway musical Dancin‘, Sing, Sing, Sing is a crown jewel of the innovative Fosse style. A stirring elegy of profound love and remembrance, Ruth – Ricordi per Due was the final ballet created by Joffrey Ballet co-founder Gerald Arpino and widely considered one of his finest works. Erika Overturff’s captivating Appalachian Song explores the heritage of the Appalachian region as told through the music of its people, weaving together life’s struggles and celebrations through stories of love, humor, heartache, loss, and perseverance.
