Episode Details

Tony-winning choreographer Sergio Trujillo joins us for this episode of THEATER: All the Moving Parts”, hosted by Patrick Pacheco. Trujillo is celebrated for his stunning talent in matching steps to character and story in such musicals as “Jersey Boys”, “Memphis,” “On Your Feet!” and “Ain’t Too Proud” for which he won the Tony Award. Through Trujillo’s eyes, we get a portrait of his choreographic process whether for a musical based upon iconic musical artists like The Four Seasons, The Temptations and Gloria Estefan or for a dramatic musical like “Next to Normal”. His passion and commitment are distilled through a past that includes an impoverished childhood in Colombia, an arrival later in the United States as undocumented, and an unflinching belief in the American dream. Years later, he paid tribute in one of the most emotional Tony acceptance speeches ever.
