Saw ALL IS LOVE, the thrillingly theatrical and romantic dance musical in NYMF. I don't normally appreciate dance, but the storytelling in Josh Walden's choreography is so striking, I really gave over to the experience. It's clear that Walden is more than Broadway triple threat, but a major voice in the future of musical theatre. I can only imagine what he could do with FOLLIES or WEST SIDE STORY. The production is gorgeous and the cast is wonderful (and gorgeous...) Anyone who cares about the future of dance in theatre should check it out.

I just wanted to add my agreement to this message.

I saw this piece performed in a benefit back in February and was profoundly moved by it. Definitely check it out at NYMF if you have a chance - amazing dance, amazing storytelling.

That sounds so cool! Is it a musical or is it all dance like Contact or Movin' Out?

Friends have told me wonderful things about this show. I understand it is filled with terrific young dancers. Josh is an extremely talented choreographer (and a super guy, too). The space is very comfortable and, I'm told, it is an very enjoyable and exciting piece. Congrats, Josh.

Go see it!
