Cheyenne Jackson is going to play a ruthless ambitious news anchor in The Onion Presents: The News pilot and now the actor will also be a high spirited dance instructor in 6 Dance Lesson In 6 Weeks. Jackson replaces Sean Hayes in the role of Michael Minetti in the indie film. Gena Rowlands co-stars as Lily Harrison, a retired woman who hires Minetti to give her private dance lessons in her St. Petersburg Beach, Florida condo. The unlikely pair soon develop a friendship apart from dance. 6 Dance Lessons In 6 Weeks is based on the LA-debuting play by Richard Alfieri, which has had a Broadway run as well as been seen in 20 countries around the world. Arthur Allan Seidelman directs the film version from a screenplay by Alfieri. Andras Somkuti is producing the film, with Marc Platt and Jerry Offsay executive producing. Jackson will next be seen opposite Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in HBO's Behind The Candelabra. The actor is repped by ICM Partners and The Schiff Co.
