Dance, Girl, Dance
May 8 @ 4:30 pm - 6:15 pm
1940 – 1 hr 30 min
In Dorothy Arzner’s backstage melodrama, Maureen O’Hara and Lucille Ball play two midwestern dancers who dream of becoming stars in the big city. One struggles to pursue a life in the ballet, while the other relies on her sex appeal to conquer the world of Burlesque. The creative team behind DANCE GIRL DANCE is composed of director Arzner and co-writer Tess Slesinger and is based on a story by novelist Vicki Baum – which elevates this B-musical into a compelling story where the experience of the women takes center stage.
