BDC’s 2009 Big Brother/Big Sister Broadway Showcase—This Weekend!!!
by Courtney Rae Allen
The 2009 cast of BDC's Big Brother/Big Sister Broadway Showcase
The recital is part of BDC’s Children & Teen Program (CTP), which began in 2001 and has since paired more than 85 professional Broadway dancers from shows like Fosse, Cats, Hairspray, The Lion King and My Fair Lady with children ages 9–17 as dance mentors.
This year, 14 young dancers were chosen after an audition in the spring and matched with a Broadway “Big Brother” or “Big Sister.” The pairs met over a course of five Sunday evenings to rehearse the recital's production number, which will be performed during the show's second half. It was staged by NYC-based choreographer, Lainie Munro and is set to the music of Liza Minnelli’s “City Lights” from Kander and Ebb's 1977 musical, The Act.
