TV: Watch a Preview of Ahrens and Flaherty's LITTLE DANCER at the Kennedy Center!

The cast and creative team behind LITTLE DANCER, directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, performed excerpts and discussed the new show and BroadwayWorld was there to capture every moment. Click below for interviews with the company and four performance previews!

Excerpts were performed by four-time Tony Award-winner Boyd Gaines, three-time Tony Award-nominee Rebecca Luker, New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck, and Kyle Harris.

Inspired by the obscure ballerina who posed for the famed Edgar Degas sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen (1879-81), this new musical follows the young dancer Marie Van Goethem as she struggles in the Paris Opera Ballet and inadvertently becomes the world's most recognized dancer.

Performances for the Kennedy Center world premiere musical begin October 25 in the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater and the official press night is Thursday, November 20.

The creative team includes set design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Ken Billington, sound design by Kai Harada, and music supervision by David Loud. Shawn Gough will conduct the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra.
