GREASE at The Bucks County Playhouse
August 9 - September 8. 2024
Bucks County Playhouse 70 S Main St. New Hope, PA 18938
Keaton had an absolute blast revisiting one of his favorite shows, starring as Danny Zuko in Grease at the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. Directed by Hunter Foster, the production was truly ‘electrifying’—a high-octane tribute to those unforgettable ‘summer nights.’
“It’s Rydell High in 1959 and the duck-tailed, hot-rodding 'Burger Palace Boys' and the gum-snapping, hip-shaking 'Pink Ladies' rule the roost. After a summer romance, Danny and Sandy are unexpectedly reunited for their senior year, but can they survive the good and bad times at Rydell High?”
SWING! at The Broadway Palm
Keaton made his Broadway Palm debut as the male counterpart of the Star Couple in Swing!, a high-octane celebration of the Big Band Era. Directed and choreographed by Amy Marie McCleary, the production earned the 2024 BroadwayWorld Ft. Myers/Naples Awards for Best Choreography and Best Dance Show. As a featured dancer, Keaton performed numerous lifts and stunts, bringing dynamic flair to the stage. Critics praised the choreography as "phenomenal" and highlighted the dancers as "absolutely outstanding."
“Jump and jive with over 30 songs from the Big Band Era! Swing exploded out of Harlem and shattered cultural and ethnic barriers and now you can relive the dance phenomenon that swept the world. This all singing, all dancing extravaganza features It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got that Swing, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, In The Mood, Sing Sing Sing, Stompin’ at the Savoy, Cry Me A River, Bounce Me Brother and more.”
