Dance With Me is a Broadway musical written by Greg Antonacci. It opened on January 23, 1975 and ran at the Mayfair Theatre for 396 performances. It was directed by and choreographed by Joel Zwick.
The action is set in the present time on a New York City subway station. While waiting on the platform, Honey Boy daydreams about life, dating, baseball and rock n' roll in the 1950s.
