Tim Grady and Shayla Benoit (of ShadyTheatrics.com and TimGradyFilms.com) teamed up with Christopher Rice (The Book of Mormon) to give viewers an inside look on the creation of his new "#TappyTroops" veteran tribute, which was filmed on the Intrepid Museum earlier this month. Check out the behind-the-scenes video!

Rice's "#TappyTroops" is his third major tap video following "#Tappy" and "The Cups Dance". "#TappyTroops" was filmed aboard the WWII aircraft carrier and National Historic Landmark, the Intrepid, which was converted to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in its permanent New York City location. In honor of the history of the Intrepid, the cast is dressed as WWII Pilots and 1940s beauties, but contrasts the history with a never-before-heard music remix by NY favorite, DJ Chelli.

In the video, Rice is joined by fellow Broadway performers Aaron Albano (Here Lies Love, Newsies, A Chorus Line, others), Clay Thomson (Matilda, Newsies, West Side Story tour, others), Natasha Scearse (White Christmas tour), Kelly Sheehan (42nd Street, White Christmas), and Sasha Hutchings (Hamilton Mixtape, Rocky, Motown, others).
