Ahrens and Flaherty's Little Dancer Makes Big Impression in Rehearsal Room Preview

Here, the cast (including Rebecca Luker as Adult Marie van Goethem, New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck as Young Marie van Goethem and Boyd Gaines as Edgar Degas) runs through four of the show's Lynn Ahrens (book and lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music) penned tunes.
