Mary Murphy In, Mia Michaels Out on 'So You Think You Can Dance,' 'Grey's Anatomy' Musical in the Works and More
Ladies and gentleman, Mary Murphy is back! That's right, the 'So You Think You Can Dance' veteran is returning to the judging table, replacing choreographer Mia Michaels."Last year when I was sitting on the [judges] panel, I knew it wasn't the right fit because I felt too glossy sitting on the panel," Michaels told E! Online. "People were so focused on what I wore and my hair. I wanted to get dirty and back to the work. I am an artist and I'm a visionary. I need to paint my world now and not be constantly linked to 'So You think You Can Dance.'"
Michaels' post-'SYTYCD' time with a Bravo reality series, writing a memoir and developing a Broadway show.
Look for Murphy to return next season.
