According tothe Hollywood Reporter, the FOX dancing show 'So You Think You Can Dance' is set to have some high profile judges this season.

On the upcoming episodes of the show, first Wednesday, June 22 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the Top 20 dance for the judges - including Broadway veteran Debbie Reynolds - and America on the season's first two-hour live performance show. The Top 20 will be paired into 10 couples who will each work with a world-renowned choreographer to compose a dance routine representing their assigned genre. After each Wednesday performance show, the phone lines and online voting window will open and the fate of these 20 finalists, one of whom will be the named America's Favorite Dancer, will be left up to the voting fans.

Then, on Thursday, June 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), America's vote is revealed during the first live results show. The six contestants comprising the bottom three couples will be given a chance to perform solo routines in the hopes of convincing the judges to keep them in the competition. The judges will then decide which dancers stay and which two will be eliminated. 

Later in the season, Broadway regular Kristin Chenoweth and pop superstar Lady Gaga will join the judging panel. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Inc. and Dick Clark productions. It is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.
