The choreographer on the buzz around Ryan Gosling’s big
number at the Oscars, plus a look at picking a strong theatre season
In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex
Miller and Toni Tresca talk about some of the season announcements from Colorado theatres. What does it take to put together a good mix of shows that put butts in seats while also satisfying the quest to do socially relevant or
new plays?
Later in the episode, Alex catches up with Mandy Moore (not that one, the other one!) Mandy, who grew up in Breckenridge, has gone on to be one of the top choreographers in the world, with credits including La La
Land, So You Think You Can Dance, Zoe’s Incredible Playlist, Taylor Swift’s Eras tour and, just this month, two pieces at the 2024 Oscars ceremony.
Working with Ryan Gosling and 62 other dancers — plus Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen — Mandy put together a Barbie tribute that pretty much eclipsed any other big Oscar numbers in recent memory. She also choreographed the In Memoriam segment, using dance to add a touching new
layer to the annual tribute. In the interview, Mandy talks about how it all came together as well as her own path as a choreographer and how dance still resonates with people.
And by the way, Mandy is now the third member of the Moore Family to be feature on the podcast. Her dad Bob and sister Missy have also been on!
