NEW YORK — There are plenty of places that get young people ready for Broadway — Juilliard, Carnegie Mellon, Yale and New York University. But don’t forget “So You Think You Can Dance.”
The Fox TV show, which just concluded its 12th season, has turned into a reliable springboard for scores of Broadway dancers, helping performers land in everything from “The King and I” to “Hamilton.”
