I wish Maks read this message thread! Some good ideas, like the role of Boris on 'You Can't Take It With You'!
Do know he was a big draw for the B-way shows he was in. Can only imagine he'd be the same for any production.

SWAY 2.0: 'Theater Without Words' feat. Maksim Chmerkovskiy & 'Fam'

The two SWAYshow.com performances featuring Meryl Davis on 12/17 are almost sold out, for those interested in seeing Meryl on stage, it's advisable to act sooner than later.

Well, he HAS done something 8x week on Broadway. Twice. Burn the Floor and Forever Tango. For BTF he was nominated for the Fred Astaire Award for Outstanding Male Dancer in a Broadway Show.
Neither was a speaking role, though.

Here's their fun Jive to Elvis' 'Hound Dog'. Looks like it could be a scene from the movie.

Didn't know there was already a stage adaptation of DD, Dollypop. Thanks for that info. Pity it wasn't done better and worthy of B-way. It's a great, classic BMG story and incredible dance- it deserves better, imo.

Anyone else have a problem with the ending of Into the woods? Its pretty morally disgusting

It's been over 20 years since I saw the theater production of 'Into the Woods' so maybe I've forgotten things, but I thought 'morally disgusting' was the entire point? Building on the cautionary tales of Children's Stories & Fables, Sondheim et al, took them to the next step, displaying the ugly side of humanity, fully?

This is great: a new 'Making of SWAY' video. Very candid and lots of excitement and commentary by SWAY headliners, Maks, Val, Tony, Sharna, Henry, Jenna, Serge and a quick bit w/ Zendaya.

Thanks for the video and walk down memory lane. They really are splendid dancing together, aren't they? Never have seen that sort of connection on DWTS... or any other dance performance, for that matter. Sounds crazy, but just seeing that video makes me feel happier.
One of the three shows we'll be seeing features Meryl. Can't wait.

BBW recently posted an excellent interview w/ Maksim Chmerkovskiy. A highlight was his comments about SWAY. Thought I'd create a thread about this incredible show. Here's the interview link: https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/BWW-Interview-Maksim-Cmkerkovskiy-Talks-SWAY-Jewelry-and-Broadway-20141111
Had the good fortune to see both SWAY shows this past summer and my review is at http://tinyurl.com/nqjzscc. It was brilliant. It's not 'just a dance show'. Much, much more to it. It's a story of American cultural evolution as represented through movement, music, and quality production values set in three Acts, which serve as a time capsule: Golden Age of Ballroom, Urban Fusion, and Passion of Latin. Fittingly, for our American melting pot, the dances in each act are a fusion of sometimes surprising styles, such as a Quickstep with Salsa.
SWAY 2.0 has an even more storied cast w/ loads of familiar faces from Dancing With the Stars. Amazing depth of talent and those participating are as much family as professional colleagues to the shows principals & Dance With Me USA partners, Maks & Val Chmerkovskiy and Tony Dovolani. Peta Murgatroyd returns for 2.0 and is joined by Sharna Burgess, Henry Byalikov, Artem Chigvintsev, Jenna Johnson, and Serge Onik. On one day, each for two shows will be special guests Olympic Gold Medalist Meryl Davis and Actress/Singer Zendaya on 12/17 and 12/21, respectively.
My adult daughter and I will be attending three of eight SWAY 2.0 shows this December. It's that good! If you love dance, American culture, and are intrigued by a fusion of both, you'll love SWAY.
December 17-21, 2014 at The SPACE in Westbury. Tickets at SWAYshow.com, follow on @SWAYshow.

Good for Maks. Give him props for being willing to 'start over' and work on the craft of acting. Not easy to take on something new requiring different skills than his previous work- and do so with the public knowing about it.
I think he'd be great at physical comedy... throw back to the 'screwball comedy' era. Would also love to see a remake of Dirty Dancing... Big Screen or adapted as a play.
