This extremely popular two-character comedy/drama has enjoyed tremendous success both nationally and internationally since it premiered with Uta Hagan and David Hyde-Pierce.Lily, an aging but formidable retiree, hires Michael, an acerbic dance instructor to give her dance lessons in her condo in St. Petersburg, Florida. Antagonism between a gay man and the wife of a Southern Baptist minister gives way to a profound compatibility as they swing dance, tango, foxtrot, and cha-cha while sharing intimacies along with dance steps. During the sixth lesson, Lily reveals a closely guarded secret – she is terminally ill – and Michael shares his greatest gifts – loyalty and compassion. As Michael takes Lily in his arms on their final meeting, they both transcend fear and mortality while the sun sets on their last dance.
