What a feeling! That’s what Broadway in Cincinnati expects local audiences to recall from the hit movie that danced its aerobic way into the hearts of moviegoers 30 years ago. 


Dance is indeed at the show’s core, epitomized by a young woman who works as a welder in a Pittsburgh, Pa., steel mill by day and performs in a bar at night. Despite her lack of formal training, she yearns for a professional opportunity. That’s an uphill battle, but she’s got the necessary spark. 

Through Nov. 10. $28-$83. Aronoff Center for the Arts, 650 Walnut St., Downtown, 513-621-2787, cincinnatiarts.org.
