She directed and choreographed the Danish Musical Academy Showcase productions of “Legally Blonde” and “Smokey Joe’s Café,” which opened June 23, 2013, in Fredericia, Denmark.

It opened July 11, 2013.
Currectly, Kurdziel-Formato is in Copenhagen directing and choreographing the remount of Disney’s Aladdin, which will have a limited run at the acclaimed Royal Opera House from July 19 through August 20, 2013.
Beginning July 30, Lynne will teach master classes, including a theatre dance Intensive for the Dance Masters of America National Teachers’ Training School.
