That’s Entertainment! Playwright Douglas Carter Beane (Broadway’s Xanadu) and director Gary Griffin (Broadway’s The Color Purple) are bringing this musical extravaganza to the Globe stage and then to Broadway! In Dancing in the Dark, Tony Hunter, played by Scott Bakula, is a Hollywood star with a career on the wane. Jeffrey Cordova is a Shakespearean actor-manager with a taste for high art. Together they team with a diverse assortment of theatrical personalities to create a new musical that’s strictly “entertainment.” With a score packed with classics like “A Shine On Your Shoes,” the quintessential ode to show business, “That’s Entertainment!,” and the classic title song, DANCING IN THE DARK is the musical comedy that will have you dancing in the aisles.
