BROADWAY BOUND

-

Dancer Misty Copeland is on a roll these days. Copeland, who last week was named American Ballet Theater’s first African-American female principal, will join the cast of the current revival of ‘On The Town’ for 12 performanc­es from Aug. 25 through Sept. 6. Copeland will play the role of Ivy Smith, which in this production has been played by two principals at New York City Ballet: Megan Fairchild, who reintroduc­ed the role for this staging and is now playing it; and Fairchild’s sister-in-law Tiler Peck, who filled in for a few performanc­es in March.
