‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ Choreographer Mandy Moore On Telling The Story through Dance: “When You Can’t Sing, You Dance”
As choreographer of the NBC series Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Mandy Moore knows how important dancing is to the story. In the series, Zoey (Jane Levy) discovers she has the power to hear people’s thoughts through “heart songs,” which often take the form of large group musical numbers. One example is “Let’s Get Loud,” which is one of the dance numbers Moore is nominated for. In addition to the dancers, Moore also needs to consider where Zoey will be during the song, as she is usually the observer rather than a participant. However, Moore prefers Levy to be introduced to the choreography after it’s completed.
