The beloved reality competition series Dancing With the Stars isn’t all that unlike Broadway. It’s a form of live performance that involves dancing, some degree of acting, and flashy costumes. Contestants regularly dance to songs from popular stage and movie musicals (Disney night, we’re looking at you).

Some have only trod the boards once or twice, while others are bonafide Broadway regulars with Tony Awards to their name.
