Tonight at 9p Bunheads joins ABC Family and this show is going to dance its way into your lives.
Michelle Simms (Sutton Foster) is a classically trained dancer who has worked on Broadway, but now she is making a living as a Vegas showgirl who keeps her clothes on. One day after a bad audition, her biggest fan asks her to be his bride and move to Paradise with him. She is so drunk and down on herself that she says yes to Hubbell Flowers (Alan Ruck). Before she can have second thoughts, they get married and he brings her home with him.
Paradise is a small town that doesn’t even have a movie theater, so of course she is source of their gossip. So far they are not welcoming her into their town, especially his mom. Fanny Flowers (Kelly Bishop) lives with her son and she has a ballet school in their house with five students. Michelle will try to give those girls a life lesson of what it is like in the real world and they will become her fans. When Fanny catches her dancing with her students, it might be enough to break the ice. But that is all going to change with a shocking ending that you will never see coming.
Bunheads was created by Amy Sherman–Palladino, so if you like that show you are going to love this one. Tune in for a show that is as much about dancing as it is about family, and TV has been asking for that for a while.
