Hi, I'm Angie Schworer, and I play Angie in The Prom
and I'm here to dance through my resume,
or as I like to call it,
tapping and tipping through my resume.
("The Ziegfeld Follies")
I made my Broadway debut in The Will Rogers Follies
directed and choreographed by Tommy Tune and Jeff Calhoun.
And on that first day of rehearsal,
I met one of my besties to this day, the Jerry Mitchell.
("The Ziegfeld Follies")
("I Got Rhythm") (shoes tapping)
My second show was Crazy For You.
I did the first national tour and the Broadway
and that's how I met Susan Stroman,
who has been responsible for over half my career.
("I Got Rhythm")
(hands clapping)
♪And let's all drive♪
♪to Hell in a fast car and keep it hot!♪
("Hot Honey Rag")
So after replacing
for a little while in Sunset Boulevard,
I took the first national tour of Chicago
and into the Broadway company of Chicago,
I understudied Roxie, and unlike my character in The Prom,
I got to go on.
("Hot Honey Rag")
♪ Ha ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
("Hot Honey Rag")
♪ And now ♪
After replacing in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway,
I started The Producers which was a huge mega-hit
that we took out of town in Chicago
and I was the Beer Stein Showgirl tipping down the stairs
and I also got to play this part in the movie.
♪ Remember when Ulla dance ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
After appearing as a showgirl
in The Producers on Broadway for quite a while,
Susan Stroman asked me to launch
the first national tour of The Producers as Ulla.
Then, she asked me to replace Cady Huffman as Ulla
which I then proceeded to do for years
on the Broadway with many, many different stars,
including The Prom's Brooks Ashmanskas.
("When You Got, It Flaunt It")
("Transylvania Mania")
Stro's next big smash hit was Young Frankenstein
and she asked me to join the company
and I got to do the fabulous Young Frankenstein
Transylvania Mania choreography.
("Transylvania Mania")

♪ I said the game ain't worth winning ♪
♪ Whoa whoa ♪
♪ The game ain't worth winning ♪
Catch Me If You Can was my next big Broadway show
which I got to do with my bestie
Jerry Mitchell as choreographer.
Catch Me If You Can was in development for about six years,
and it was one of my favorite shows to do
because I was working with my family and friends
which would be Jerry Mitchell, Marc Shaiman,
and Scott Wittman.

("Alabama Stomp")
♪ Yeah, yeah ♪
♪ Oh, I love that sound ♪
♪ I'm in the house ♪
♪ You watching me, Will ♪
Big Fish was my next show,
again with the famous Susan Stroman.
And the Alabama Stomp actually did not exist
in the out-of-town.
It was new once we came to the Broadway.
("Alabama Stomp")
Here we go, y'all.
Come on, come on.
Y'all hear that sound?
I hear something out there. (cheers)
("A Musical")
Next was Something Rotten
which Casey Nicholaw asked me to do.
I was a tap dancing egg.
("A Musical")
("Zazz")
Prom is my 11th Broadway show.
This role was written for me
and I feel like the luckiest girl in showbiz
because I get to do a little bit of everything.
And this number, Zazz, that was created,
I get many notes and letters of kids who listen to it
and say things like, "I listen to Zazz
"and it makes me feel like I can do anything.
"It makes me feel like I can overcome any obstacle."
And who wouldn't wanna be a part of that every night?
♪ Give it some zazz ♪
♪ Now that you found your zazz ♪
♪ It's time to show it to the world ♪
♪ You think you know how ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
