Rosie O'Donnell and Kristin Chenoweth have joined the cast for a reading of "The Pyramid: An Unauthorized 'Dance Moms' Musical." O'Donnell is slated to play Abby Lee Miller, with Tony winner Chenoweth stepping into the role of Cathy Nesbitt-Stein.
The reading is scheduled to take place on Monday afternoon in New York City. This unauthorized musical, which began as a viral social media concept amassing over 5.6 million views, offers a humorous perspective on competitive dance, overzealous mothers, and the notable personalities from the former Lifetime series.
Originally airing from 2011 to 2019, "Dance Moms" became a cultural phenomenon, though its central instructor, Abby Lee Miller, faced controversy for her teaching methods and later legal issues.
Tony-nominated co-creator Tye Blue has joined the production as creative producer. Television producer Logan Clark is leading the project, with his company, The Casting Collective, handling nationwide casting. Daisy Theatricals and The Bartos Group are also providing support.
