SEVEN TEAMS DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THEIR FAVORITE MUSICALS TO SHOWCASE THEIR THEATRICAL SKILLS, ON “COME DANCE WITH ME,” FRIDAY, MAY 27

Musical Magic” – Drawing inspiration from their favorite musicals, each dance team is faced with the daunting task of showcasing their theatrical skills. Seven parent-kid teams remain in the competition as they perform dance routines to hit musical songs, including “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” (Billy Joel), “Another Day of Sun” (La La Land: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), “Hot Honey Rag” (Chicago the Musical New London Cast Recording (1997)) and more on the CBS Original series COME DANCE WITH ME, Friday, May 27 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

COME DANCE WITH ME features exceptionally talented young dancers from across the country who invite one untrained family member who has supported their dance dreams to be their partner, for a chance to strut their stuff for a grand prize. Throughout the season, the teams will learn different dance routines, from hip hop and ballroom to contemporary and theatrical, among others, and will tackle a fierce new performance each week in hopes of earning top scores from the judges and continuing in the competition. At the end of every episode, the two lowest-scoring teams will battle each other in a freestyle dance-off, as the judges determine which team will be eliminated and which will advance. The kid/parent teams perform to hit songs for some of the biggest names in dance, the series judges: Jenna Dewan, Dexter Mayfield and Tricia Miranda. GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter Philip Lawrence hosts the series.
