#1"So You Think You Can Dance" winner will be in On The Town....who are you hoping for?
Posted: 8/27/14 at 10:01pmSo if you have been watching SYTYCD you know we are down to the final four dancers. Who are you hoping wins and gets the role in On The Town? Just finished watch the show tonight and my vote goes to Zach. All of of his dances were so different and he owned the character he was portraying in the dance. Anyone else watch it tonight?

Posted: 8/27/14 at 10:46pmYes I have been watching for awhile and I really love Valerie! Not only because she is from my state, but she is an amazing tapper and is an amazing dancer with any style thrown at her. I also love Zack as well and I think Ricky is the most technically trained of the final four, so I think any of them deserves to win. Jessica is ok but she is just an ok dancer and there is nothing really special about her.

I think Jessica is much more than an "OK" dancer, "OK" dancers seldom get on the show. That being said, she is my least favorite of the finalists.
I think any of the other three have such spirit and presence and totally suck me in when dancing.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 8/27/14 at 11:37pmHopefully the show stays open to be able to offer the role after their tour, but I would love Zach to star in the show. I think his talents and look would be better suited to the show.

Posted: 8/28/14 at 3:59pmI think Zach would fit in great, he's an incredibly versatile dancer. I love both boys though, their hip hop dance last night was excellent. I like Valerie a lot as well. Jessica is a very technically proficient and beautiful dancer, but the other three are stronger performers at this point.

Speed, the winner will become a part of the ensemble once the tour ends in February, assuming the show is still running.
Yes, this might be a shameless plug, since I recap SYTYCD for BWW (https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/SYTYCDs-Final-Four-Perform-as-Jesse-Tyler-Ferguson-Judges-Updating-Live-20140827), but I think all four would be capable additions to the cast. Zack and Valerie's tap background plays to the strengths of ON THE TOWN, but the show uses so many different styles that all would fit right in.
I know Zack has a musical theatre background, as I have seen him in professional shows before, but I would be interested to know if any of the others sing, or even want to do theatre. While I get that Nigel is a producer on ON THE TOWN (and the upcoming AN AMERICAN IN PARIS), I'm not sure how I would feel if the winner took a role from a MT actor even though he/she would rather be dancing in Beyonce videos in LA.

Posted: 8/28/14 at 5:35pmIf the dance can do the job, s/he isn't taking anything away from anyone. It's just a different route to dancing for a living.
