Don't miss Doug Elkins & Friends' sly deconstruction of the timeless Rodgers & Hammerstein movie classic in a tongue-in-cheek interpretation guaranteed to leave you in a good mood all the way home. Elkins and his dancers bring energy, wit and loving grace to a familiar story by quoting choreographers Martha Graham and José Limón, hilarious vaudeville routines and social dance moves.
"A jewel of choreographic invention and comic subtlety." - The New Yorker
"a mini-masterpiece... encompassing everything that is brilliant about Mr. Elkins' choreography" - The New York Times
