Shake It Away: The Ann Miller Story is a world premiere musical play written and performed by Kayla Boye, directed by Michael Weber, music directed by Linda Madonia, and choreographed by Tammy Mader. Set on a soundstage during the 1970 MGM Studios auction, the show follows dancer, singer and actress Ann Miller as she revisits the Golden Age of Hollywood and discovers her second act as a Broadway star while iconic film treasures are sold off around her. Featuring selections from the Great American Songbook, this story of personal triumph examines the impacts of sweeping change on an entire industry. The production was nurtured through Porchlight's Off the Porch new works initiative and developed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Hollywood Fringe and Off-Broadway.
