How To Dance In Ohio

THIS TITLE IS LICENSED BY MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL (MTI).

How to Dance in Ohio is a heartwarming and uplifting musical about the universal desire for connection and the courage it takes to embrace new experiences. Featuring music by Jacob Yandura and a book and lyrics by Rebekah Greer Melocik, the show is adapted from Alexandra Shiva’s award-winning 2015 HBO documentary.

Inspired by a true story, the musical follows a group of autistic young adults and their families as they navigate change and prepare for a spring formal dance in Columbus, Ohio. This seemingly simple milestone challenges their routines, pushes them beyond their comfort zones, and opens the door to new possibilities.

After making its world premiere at Syracuse Stage in September 2022, How to Dance in Ohio transferred to Broadway in November 2023, earning widespread critical recognition. In 2024, the show’s Authentic Autistic Representation Team received a special Drama Desk Award, celebrating the production’s commitment to authentic representation.
