Lorin Latarro attends “The Who’s Tommy” Broadway opening night at the Nederlander Theatre on Thursday, March 28, 2024, in New York. The quintessential rock musical is thrillingly alive again on Broadway. And just a few blocks away is a new rock show featuring music by Huey Lewis and The News. The connecting tissue between them is the in-demand choreographer Latarro, known for her bespoke approach and a fluency when it comes to rock.

“I love dancers. I think dancers are extraordinary people and extraordinary artists who are doing it because they like the feeling of flying and the feeling of dancing,” she says. “They’re certainly not doing it for the money or the fame.” “It’s so funny because Des was like, ‘I think you’re asking too much of these kids.’ And I was like, ‘I have a 6-year-old. Have you seen a 6-year-old lately? They can do everything.’”

She graduated from The Juilliard School and danced in 14 Broadway shows, including “Fosse,” “Swing!,” “A Chorus Line” and “Movin’ Out.” She also was a member of such companies as Robert Wilson, Martha Graham and MOMIX. In one number, the heroine performs various fantasies, like winning a pie baking contest, being thrown a suitcase and clothes for an attempt to flee and floating in the air with her lover. Latarro was inspired by reading an article about the importance of daydreaming.
