Having started his Broadway career as a dancer (replacing in the original “A Chorus Line”), Jerry Mitchell first showed the Main Stem his own moves with his choreography of 1999’s “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Since then, Mitchell has created iconic movement for such shows as “Hairspray,” for which he was nominated for a Tony, and “Kinky Boots,” for which he won. Prior to this season, Mitchell had racked up eight Tony nods (across choreography and direction) and won two. Now, he’s added a ninth nomination to that total, for his choreography of “Boop! The Musical!” Here, he breaks down the details of a few numbers and how he created them in this chat with host Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News.Want to be the first to hear these chats?
