“Composers these days don’t really write with dance in mind,” lamented choreographer Joshua Bergasse shortly after one of the final previews of On the Town, the 1944 musical comedy by Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden,Adolph Green and Jerome Robbins, now back in its third Broadway revival at the rechristened Lyric Theatre.

That trend may change after the flurry of raves that greeted On the Town following the opening-night bows on Oct. 17. The show isn’t just a love letter to New York City, it’s also a valentine to the good, old-fashioned dance musical of yesteryear.” – Adam Hetrick
