About | Rommy Sandhu

Rommy Sandhu is a New York City based Director-Choreographer and educator. His clever and imaginative approach has led him to serve as Associate Director, Choreographer, and Dance Captain to Tony Award winning director/choreographers Kathleen Marshall, Susan Stroman, and Matthew Bourne. Inspired by classic dance artists and Hollywood giants, from Gene Kelly to Jerome Robbins, Sandhu’s work and insight have been sought after from coast to coast and across the pond.

Most recently, Sandhu collaborated with Kathleen Marshall on the revival of The Unsinkable Molly Brown (The Transport Group) and he was Dick Scanlan’s Associate on the acclaimed production of Little Shop of Horrors (New York City Center Encores!). A Dancebreak Foundation “Choreographer to Watch,” his selected directing and choreography credits include How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (The Maltz-Jupiter Theatre), Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Tuacahn Center For the Performing Arts), and Singing In The Rain starring Corbin Bleu (The MUNY).

Steeped in a blend of Punjabi-Indian and Scottish/Irish/German-American roots, his upbeat, can-do spirit and unbridled zest for life drive his creativity, aimed at honoring the past with an eye toward the future of the arts. Be it contemporary lines or classical styles, his work expresses what cannot be said with words alone.

Music and dance are in his blood: as a young boy in Northern California, Sandhu staged The Muppets Movie “live” in his parent’s driveway for the neighborhood kids and even created fight choreography inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope. After training in every facet of dance he could find, he moved east to pursue his dreams in New York City. He has worked his way across the regional theater landscape, with a performing career spanning 11 Broadway shows and National Tours and various television appearances. Now, Sandhu continues his dedication to creating through choreography and directing. Sandhu’s wide-ranging knowledge and deep passion for the American Musical art form, combined with his extensive training and experience, give him a unique perspective on how the worlds of dance and theatre combine. He currently resides in Woodside NY with his wife, Ellery and their three children.
