The Old Globe Theatre is now in performances of the new dance-theater musical In Your Arms, featuring direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli.

Tony Award-winner Flaherty (Ragtime) provides the music, with his collaborator Lynn Ahrens contributing lyrics to the show's title song.

The Musical), Henry Byalikov (Burn the Floor), Claire Camp (Flashdance The Musical), Spencer Clark (The Winter's Tale), Jeremy Davis (South Pacific), Jenn Harris (Silence!
