Roundabout Theatre Company has announced three productions that will be part of its 2011-2012 season.

Graciela Daniele will direct a new Broadway production of Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ at Studio 54 in the fall. Fosse’s original choreography will be recreated, with creative consultation provided by his daughter, Nicole Fosse. The score is comprised of a wide variety of styles including operetta, jazz, classical, and pop songs.

Also in the fall, Peter DuBois will direct the New York premiere of Stephen Karam’s Sons of the Prophet Off-Broadway in the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. The play, which was commissioned by the Roundabout, is about a Lebanese family in PA in crisis.

Sam Gold will direct a revival of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger at the Laura Pels, with performances beginning Winter 2012. The play is about four people struggling to live together and love each other in 1950s England.

Cast members and the design teams for all three productions will be announced at a later date.
