Brian Stokes Mitchell, Billy Porter, Brandon Victor Dixon and Joshua Henry. In May 1921, the new musical SHUFFLE ALONG became the unlikeliest of hits, significantly altering the face of the Broadway Musical, as well as that of New York City. By the time SHUFFLE ALONG stumbled into town after a back-breaking pre-Broadway tour, it was deeply in debt and set to open at a remote Broadway house on West 63rd Street. But with an infectious Jazz score and exuberant, unforgettable dancing, SHUFFLE ALONG ignited all of New York City. Because of SHUFFLE ALONG, uptown and downtown met – and became one. Tony Award Winner Audra McDonald and cast bring the original show back to glorious life while simultaneously telling the back-stage saga of its creation!
