Intrepid Museum to Host Celebration of Jerome Robbins's 100th Birthday

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum will host Celebrating Jerome Robbins: From Street to Stage, a look at the legacy of the famed choreographer, on August 9 at the Intrepid Museum located at Pier 86. The event will feature a live performance and an expert panel discussion "of how Robbins brought the sensibility of the streets alive on the stage," according to a press release.

Tony Award-winning choreographer Joshua Bergasse will present a live performance of the opening of On the Town on Intrepid's flight deck, staged specifically for the unique setting. Following the performance, a discussion will take place exploring Robbins's timeless artistry with Bergasse, along with Grover Dale, original cast member of West Side Story and codirector, with Robbins, of Jerome Robbins' Broadway; Adam Green, Vogue's theater critic; Daniel Ulbricht, principal dancer with the New York City Ballet; and moderator Amanda Vaill, author of Somewhere: The Life of Jerome Robbins.
