Exploring the lives of influential choreographers including Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Bob Fosse, Rudolf Nureyev, Pina BauchGene Kelly and Paula Abdul, Jacob not only talks about them, but dances his way through their signature styles!

Cast: This one man show will be performed by a rotating cast of Joseph Simons, Trent Sinclair and Andrew Longo
