It’s so amazing how How to Dance in Ohio is a true story. It’s almost like High School Musical except the kids are way cooler because they can sing and dance AND they have autism. The musical follows seven high school students preparing for a spring formal dance. There’s all these twists and turns that make for an iconic story that must go down in Broadway history.
Take a look at this exclusive interview with Liam Pearce and Madison Kopec, who play Drew and Marideth in this true high school musical. They were so excited to FaceTime with us about their Broadway debut —NBD!— and how the show shines a human and joyful light on those with autism.
Did you know that autism is considered a non-visible disability? And that every autistic person experiences autism differently? Just like no snowflake is exactly alike! The cast of HTDIO includes actors who identify as autistic, neurodivergent, and neurotypical. The combination of these identities is what makes the cast neurodiverse. And we are here for it!
We asked Liam and Madison what their favorite Broadway shows were: Liam said Rent and Madison said Hedwig and the Angry Inch. What is yours?!
Catch this Facetime with Liam and Madison where they talk about getting into character and their thoughts on the show!
