Jule Styne News

Director and choreographer Scott Thompson talks about bringing Jule Styne’s legendary music to life—and why “The Music That Makes Me Dance” is more than just a concert.

All Roads Theatre Company (ARTCO) will present the World Premiere of the musical revue, THE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME DANCE: THE SONGS OF JULE STYNE. Created by Scott Thompson and Fred Barton, this production celebrates the legendary work of composer Jule Styne. The show features a cast of Broadway headliners, including Anneliese van der Pol, Nick Adams, Lana Gordon, Angel Reda, Rhett George, and Neil Starkenberg, accompanied by an 11-piece LIVE band! This production will run for five performances only, from May 1–3, 2026, at the iconic El Portal Theatre in old town North Hollywood.

Beyond her well-known television presence, Anneliese has a distinguished theater pedigree, including her Broadway debut as the final Belle in Beauty and the Beast and her award-winning performances in both productions of the musical 'Evita!' and 'Vanities.' Her versatile experience across film, television soundtracks, and professional stage productions makes her a compelling live performer in Los Angeles.  Anneliese took TEN QUESTIONS IN TEN MINUTES with BWLA revealing the trajectory of her career from Broadway to Hollywood!
