Episode Details

Nikki Feirt Atkins, Randy Skinner & Riki Kane Larimer join The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to talk about the electrifying new NYC production of Gotta Dance!—a one-of-a-kind celebration of Broadway and Hollywood’s most iconic choreography. Conceived by Nikki Feirt Atkins and presented by Riki Kane Larimer, this thrilling stage event recreates legendary dance numbers from classics like West Side Story, Singin’ in the Rain, A Chorus Line, and more, preserving the work of master choreographers like Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and Gene Kelly. Co-directed by Atkins and four-time Tony-nominated choreographer Randy Skinner, this show is a love letter to movement, storytelling, and the history of musical theater.

In this conversation, we dive into the passion behind preserving choreography, the challenge of honoring Broadway’s greatest dance moments, and why Gotta Dance! is more than a show—it’s a living archive of theatrical brilliance. From the rehearsal room to opening night at Stage 42, this team shares what it takes to bring generations of dance back to life for today’s audiences. It’s joyful, it’s nostalgic, and it’s exactly why we love theater.
