biggest financial success in the theatre. Original Broadway production Following its out of town tryout in Boston, Dancin''' opened on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre on March 27, 1978. It later transferred to the Ambassador Theatre, and closed on June 27, 1982 after 1,774 performances (including previews). Dancin’ was a milestone musical for dancers, both artistically and financially; for the first time ever, the entire company of a Broadway show was given principal contracts under Equity, which meant higher salaries. It was a very strenuous show; injuries were common, and the dancers were asked to do more than had ever been asked of dancers on Broadway before or since. Dancin’ was nominated for seven and won two Tony Awards. Fosse won for his choreography, and Jules Fisher won for his lighting design. Fisher said that sound designer Abe Jacob should have won a Tony Award, but there was no category for sound design until three decades later.Dancin’ received two national tours, the first from April 16, 1979 to May 18, 1980, and the second from July 29, 1980 to October 9, 1983.<ref>[https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-show/dancin-2905#touring-production Dancin] Internet Broadway Database</ref> Dancin' also ran for a limited season in 1983 at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in Westminster, London.

Following Broadway, national tours, and London, the show was not performed or revived because the choreography is so demanding. However, several numbers from Dancin’ were recreated for the 1999 dance review Fosse, including: "Crunchy Granola Suite", "I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man", "Percussion V", "Mr. Bojangles", and "Sing Sing Sing". A revival of Dancin’ was scheduled to be produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company at Studio 54 for 2009, but it was postponed until the 2009–10 season, and then postponed indefinitely. 2023 Broadway revival It was announced on November 11, 2022 that a revival of the show, styled as Bob Fosse's Dancin and directed by original cast member Wayne Cilento and produced by Joey Parnes by special arrangement with Nicole Fosse, would play at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway, with opening night scheduled for March 19, 2023.
