Leading the way is the amazing Ricky Ubeda as Mr. Mistoffelees. The “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 11 winner is no Great White Way newbie: He made his official Broadway debut last year, when he joined the ensemble of On The Town. But it is his first time playing a major role—and showing off his singing chops solo!
The list also includes other On The Town alums: New York City Ballet soloist Georgina Pazcoguin as Victoria (aka the super graceful “white cat”), and Jess LeProtto (also of Newsies and “So You Think You Can Dance”) as the mischievous Mungojerrie.
Other highlights? Shonica Gooden—fresh off her Hamilton run—will play Rumpleteazer; New York City Dance Alliance all-star Kolton Krouse will make his Broadway debut as Tumblebrutus; and fellow NYCDA kid Corey Snide, a Juilliard grad who was one of Billy Elliot‘s Billys, will play Coricopat.
One thing’s for certain: This cast of A-list dancers + Andy Blankenbuehler‘s choreo is sure to = Broadway gold. The production officially opens July 31. Get your tickets now, and check out the full casting list here.
