New York Stage Originals

The international hit show is an all energy tap dancing equivalent to High School Musical. Eight phenomenal tap dancers tell the story of a group of teenagers during their last months at school as they come to terms with teenage love, their first big dance, graduation and pending adulthood.

After Tap Dogs and Stomp, this latest tap dance sensation features an original score and dazzling choreography while their fast-clicking feet move with a joyous intensity that shakes up the floor – and the soul.
