Tappin’ Through Life with Maurice Hines
Maurice and Gregory Hines are world-famous, award-winning dancers. Maurice—the elder brother—is known for his Broadway performances in Guys & Dolls, Sophisticated Ladies, and many others.
He also appeared alongside his brother in Frances Ford Coppola’s film The Cotton Club as a pair of… what else? tap dancers.
Gregory’s innovative improvisational tapping as well as his choreography and acting won him a long list of Tony’s, Emmy’s and other awards before he passed away in 2003.
Now, Maurice is paying tribute to his brother and their mentors through song and dance in a show titled Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life, opening this week at the Alliance Theatre. Hines visited our studios to talk about Gregory and how this tribute came about.
Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life opens in previews Wednesday, April 2nd and runs through May 4th. The Alliance is also screening The Cotton Club Monday March 31st as part of their film series. You can find more information at Atlanta PlanIt.
