Sorry to hear about some of the neg reviews of the score--anyone have an idea on how to hear any of it? I wasnt the biggest Rocky/Ragtime fan, tho I did adore Island."

I don't think dance kids or ticketbuyers care about who Tiler Peck is? At least not enough to make a substantial impact on the box office. We're not talking about Emma Stone or Glenn Close...

If you dislike Ragtime (one of the great scores of the past 25 years), I think you'll be sorely disappointed in Marie.

They have an album on Spotify of their songs and Jeremey Jordan sings a song from this, and I think Stephanie Block? It’s not great. Reminded me of their work on Anastasia which was dull ( “Still” ) - that said I think “Raining” from Rocky is an underrated gem.

I recently saw a production of Rocky, and was really impressed with the score.

Both songs in the album don't exist in the show anymore! Dancing Still got cut in favor of a duet that's called "Between Us" between Christian (Kyle Harris) and Marie (Tiler Peck), just so Tiler can sing a couple lines, and Ballerina has been cut for something else!

Editing to add that "Marie: Dancing Still" is a much better title than just "Marie" (which it was on the 5th Avenue website for a while), and Little Dancer was constantly mistaken for "Tiny Dancer"/an Elton John song.

The words "Dancing Still" is referenced in the show a couple times (instead of a whole song, which was during the Kennedy Center run), and it makes it clear that the story isn't centered around Marie/Christian or Marie/Degas, but Marie as a person). I think the title fits the show just fine, after seeing it at the 5th, and seems like a nice/appropriate nod to the real Marie Van Goethem, who we don't know much of.

I still think just "Dancing Still" would be a better title.

Wasn't Boyd Gaines involved in this?

Yes he was. Boyd Gaines played Degas in the Kennedy Center production.

I've heard a Broadway transfer is all but confirmed, most likely for fall of 2020 but possibly earlier.

Ahrens & Flaherty's LITTLE DANCER (it's going back to the original title) will play London this fall, according to the playbill bio of its lead producer, Anita Waxman, directed by Susan Stroman. I have no other info beyond that, but the songs I've heard over the years are lovely.

Oh this is wonderful news! I’ve loved all the music and clips I’ve seen of it. I wonder if Tiler Peck is still with the show. And Karen Ziemba

It feels like there’s been a lot of similar claims or speculation about upcoming productions of this show over the years. It’s been kicking around for so long, which is a big red flag.

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Looks like it's been retitled to Little Dancer again, and doing a one night concert in the West End

Sublime casting but this piece has been lingering for over 10 years and has it's problem and Stro is tied to it!
