Before Bob Fosse, before Jerome Robbins, before Agnes de Mille, there was a man who invented Jazz Dance. It changed the world of entertainment forever. The forgotten genius behind this revolution was Jack Cole - dancer, choreographer and impossible sonofabitch.
Cole went on to create screen goddesses for the movies - Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, Ann Miller, Lana Turner - and above all, Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn wouldn’t work with anyone else - he created all her iconic numbers from Heatwave to Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.
This brand new musical incorporates Cole’s uniquely thrilling dance numbers, songs as iconic as Someone To Watch Over Me and Put The Blame On Mame, wrapped up in an exciting new score by British composer Guy Kitchenn.
It tells the story of a flawed genius, his passions, his obsessions and his enduring relationship with his partner David. It is a love story, a dance spectacular and a love letter to Broadway.
