Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega

Kenny Ortega has directed and choreographed iconic movies and concerts for the past 4.5 decades. From Ferris Bueller to Dirty Dancing to Hocus Pocus to High School Musical, Kenny has stayed at the forefront of musical storytelling on stage and screen. Host Zina Ellis and her guests soar/fly through Kenny's tropes, stage pictures, and unforgettable songs as they analyze how he has remained so relevant over his years of work. Maybe this is an incredibly long gambit by Zina to get more people to watch High School Musical 3 (the best one), but maybe this could be the start of something... great.

3. It's St. Elmo's Fire.

Exactly what it says on the tin: this is the St. Elmo's Fire episode! A film that you've actually heard of! Even though Kenny Ortega's work is only on screen for a few minutes, guest Jake Beckhard and I manage to talk about the movie for a good long time. We chat about saxophone care, the power of vintage Demi Moore, and how Rob Lowe and Ally Sheedy have '00s doppelgangers (Zac Efron and Emma Watson, respectively). Also the guiding question acronym has shifted once again. Here at Breaking Free, we are constantly learning and evolving. Or perhaps, coming of age.... how apropos.
