featuring Imani Russell as Mel 

via Syracuse Stage:

"How to Dance in Ohio is a heart-filled new musical based on the Peabody Award-winning documentary of the same name that explores what it means to belong, the courage it takes to put yourself out in the world, and the universal need to connect. Set at a counseling center in Columbus, How to Dance in Ohio follows seven autistic young adults as they come of age and find their ways in the world.

The show opened on Broadway on December 10, 2023 at The Belasco Theatre.
