Description

This episode is fantastic, if I do say so myself. Chris is open and honest and frankly, very easy to talk to. I’m a huge fan of his work and we chat about much of it in this episode. From his time as a dancer, then as a ballet choreographer, and now as a broadway director and choreographer. I ask him some pretty tough questions about his newest show, MJ the musical, so take a seat and hang out for a bit, in the front row.Christopher Wheeldon is a world-renowned choreographer of contemporary ballet. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 for “promoting the interests and reputation of British classical and theatrical dance worldwide” Christopher is the winner of not one, but two Tony awards for best choreography for the broadway shows “An American In Paris” and “MJ: The Musical”. Other notable works include the ballets “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, “Polyphonia”, “The Winter’s Tale”, and many more. He is also the recipient of an Olivier Award.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
