Chicago’s Resident Tap Theatre Company’s Annual Inclusive Celebration of the Holidays Returns with an Updated Story, New Dances and an Expanded Role for Award-Winning Rhythmic Gymnast Dasha Merkulov. Artistic Director Mark Yonally and Chicago Tap Theatre (CTT) bring audiences live music, a touch of magic and boundless energy with the return of their annual Tidings of Tap!, a warm and wondrous celebration of tap dance and the winter season. Chicago Tap Theatre makes a major narrative step this year by bringing internationally-celebrated choreographer and Jump RhythmÒ Artistic Director Billy Siegenfeld in to direct this year’s edition of Tidings of Tap! This is the next logical step in taking what was once a holiday revue to a complete production with a strong structure and engaging plot. Now in its 17th year, Chicago Tap Theatre prides itself on breaking the mold of traditional tap dance and does the same with holiday entertainment.
