False Steps, a new ballroom dance comedy, will play the Theatre at St. Clements this September for a strictly limited three-week Off-Broadway engagement. Performances begin September 5, with opening night set for September 12.
Created by real-life dance champions Candace H. Caplin and Ronny Dutra (Wicked in S茫o Paulo, Brazil), False Steps tells the story of Rae Applebaum, a struggling playwright thrown into chaos when her recently widowed mother Sophie falls head-over-heels (and heels-over-head) for a charming young ballroom dance instructor named Paulo.
Featuring original choreography by Dutra and partnering consultation by U.S. Ballroom Champion Edward Simon, the production defines itself as a screwball comedy.
False Steps is written by Caplin and Kim St. Leon, with original music by Jesse Corbin, and direction by St. Leon and Dutra. The Off-Broadway run is presented by A Ballroom Comedy LLC and produced by Caplin, Dutra, Carrie Steinmetz, and Ethan Steimel, with scenic design by Harry Feiner, lighting by Steimel, sound by Sean Hagerty, production stage management by Haley Robles and publicity and marketing consulting by Katie Rosin.
