Exclusive Interview: Anthony Cannarella of ‘Gotta Dance!’
If you’re a theater nerd like me, there’s a good chance that you cut your teeth on some of the most iconic movie musicals ever. I’m talking about The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews, West Side Story with Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno, and even Singin’ in the Rain with Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. I would watch these films obsessively and would imitate the impressive dance moves all throughout my house. Gotta Dance! is sharing that love of the golden age of Hollywood musicals and also of Broadway, by showcasing some of the more iconic numbers ever! We recently spoke with one of the Gotta Dance! cast members, Anthony Cannarella, about what audiences can expect from this production!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Cannarella talks about his journey into dance and acting and how that eventually led him to Gotta Dance! Being a bit more of a self-described Bunhead, Cannarella talks about how this production has pushed him to grow and about the pinch-me moments that come with performing some of the most recognizable dance numbers!
