For HEAD OVER HEELS' Tanner Ray Wilson, performing on a Broadway stage eight times a week is a far cry from his hometown of Jonesboro, Arkansas. 'My dad is a football coach and a basketball coach and a hunter, like outdoorsman extraordinaire,' he says. 'And he was cool enough for some reason to let his boy go take a dance class.' That one class gave Wilson the confidence to pursue more classes and connect with other teachers, who he says not only helped him grow as an artist but also opened doors for him.

Head Over Heels opened on Broadway last night at the Hudson Theatre (141 West 44th Street)! BroadwayWorld attended the big night and you can get a look at Peppermint, Rachel York, Bonnie Milligan, and the rest of the cast tat the show's opening night cast party! Check out the photos below!
