About
How to Dance in Ohio is a musical with music by Jacob Yandura, lyrics and book by Rebekah Greer Melocik. It was adapted from the 2015 documentary of the same name. The musical focuses on a group of autistic young adults preparing to attend a Spring Formal dance organized by their counselor, Dr. Amigo. While facing different challenges, including ableism, they experience the joys of supporting one another. Directed by Sammi Cannold, with choreography by Mayte Natalio, it made its world premiere at Syracuse Stage in September 2022 and later the show transferred to Broadway in November 2023.
