Denis Jones joined us live on The Broadway Q&A Series, presented by Playbill and The Growing Studio, July 8. The Tony Award-nominated choreographer answered your questions about staging Tootsie, Holiday Inn, Honeymoon in Vegas, and more during the hour-long chat, which you can watch in full above.
Among the topics Jones tackled were his proudest career moment (at the 8:45 timestamp), how he chooses dancers for pre-production work (15:49), and what makes him want to re-hire a dancer (56:51). Jones also got special visits from Holiday Inn star Corbin Bleu, Tootsie star Lilli Cooper, and Legally Blonde star Laura Bell Bundy at 23:31.
