Interview | Joey McKneely

Time Out Chicago: "In our June 2–8 issue, I talked with Broadway dance director Gary Chryst about how choreography evolves on the Great White Way, specifically Bob Fosse’s moves for Chicago, which Ann Reinking adapted andChryst oversees.
On Tuesday 19, West Side Story opens a four-week stay at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. I called that show’s dance director, Joey McKneely, in New York to hear how he and West Side’s author, Arthur Laurents—who died on May 5 at the age of 93—negotiated similar challenges regarding the work of choreographer Jerome Robbins."
