Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough made her Broadway debut as Dusty in the 2022 play POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, and she co-hosted the Tony Awards pre-show Act One for three consecutive years, from 2022-24. She has also starred in the movie musicals Footloose as Ariel, Rock of Ages as Sherrie, and Georgia in Burlesque, and as Sandy in Fox's live televised production of Grease in 2016.

Hough is best known, however, for her work on Dancing With the Stars as a pro dancer (winning twice between 2007 and 2009), a judge (from 2014-17), and a co-host (since 2023, with Alfonso Ribiero). She has received three Emmy nominations for her choreography on the show, winning once alongside her brother, Derek Hough, and Tessandra Chavez.
