The story
Dancer (A Musical In Ten Furlongs) is the story of Northern Dancer, the “horse nobody wanted” — the too-small, too-ungainly, too-willful thoroughbred who overcame doubt, injury and history to become the first Canadian-bred horse to win the Kentucky Derby, in 1964, and capture the heart of a nation.
With thrilling original songs, exhilarating choreography, and a timeless feel-good story, Dancer is a captivating and unmissable new Canadian musical and the must-see show of the coming fall.
