777 Theatre
777 8th Avenue New York, NY

In the world of competitive aerobics, 2 women will take charge of their lives, tightening glutes and delts along the way.



Nothing can keep you down. No man. No woman. Not even a mulleted fitness instructor who feeds you diet pills and calls you a loser. A stifled housewife and a former gymnast discover the power of the burn through the new aerobics movement. When the maniacal Trip Allen threatens their routine, they and their class challenge him in the only place he might be vulnerable: the 1987 Crystal Light National Aerobics Competition, hosted by Alan Thicke.



Inspired by the cult youtube classic, this is the first musical brave enough to take on the stunning sights and sounds of 1980's aerobics. The great circle wheel of pushups is only the beginning.
