TV show description:
Tired of her life as a chorus girl in Las Vegas, Michelle Simms (Sutton Foster) reluctantly agrees to marry Hubbell Flowers (Alan Ruck) on a whim. He loves her dearly and promises to give her a better life, away from The Strip.
Hubbell brings her to his small hometown, where she is not exactly greeted with open arms. Hubbell’s overbearing mother, Fanny (Kelly Bishop), is appalled by the news of their marriage, and frowns on the idea of Michelle moving in with them. Fanny later hosts a wedding reception, where Michelle meets the colorful locals and they all seem to despise her.
The only people that Michelle connects with are Fanny’s ballet students, particularly Bettina “Boo” Jordan (Kaitlyn Jenkins), Ginny Thompson (Bailey Buntain), Melanie Segal (Emma Dumont), and Sasha Torres (Julia Goldani Telles). They’re all very impressed with Michelle’s real world dance experience. Boo takes Michelle’s advice on auditioning to heart, and feels inspired to try out for a prestigious local performance.
Things are starting to look up for Michelle but then, Hubbell is suddenly killed in a car accident. As a result, she’s left feeling alone and very unsure about her future.
Episode 18 — Next!
Michelle auditions for a show in Los Angeles. Sasha and Boo think about taking their respective relationships to the next level.
First aired: February 25, 2013.

Dawn » No, the season’s not even over yet.
I LOVE this show …!!!!
I love love love this show it’s witty and fast like Gilmore Girls it’s got charm. My husband even enjoys watching it with me. It’s a keeper I look forward to watching it every Monday!!
Forgot to add it is on Monday @ 6 & 7 PDT on Direct TV …at least in E. Oregon
Luv Bunheads…it’s on here in the west at 6 & 7 PM. Pacific Daylight time on ABCF (ABC Family).
The whole program is fantastic…both adults and ‘teens’…..took dancing from age 3 to 17 and loved every minute…..enjoyed the adult tap class this last program…..
Michelle is so funny…in fact the whole show is really hilarious……
Hope to see much more of this series!
I love this show too. What has happened to it? I see it is not canceled but dissappeared on the tv show list. Bring this show back!
Jenny » It was on last night.
Love the show, watched it with my grand daughter (8), she liked it alot.
Love the show, but where did it go? Maybe because they are close to my age group, I really like the older ladies. They could be the new Golden Girls. I can see some of me and my friends in each of them. Hope it runs for a long time. But why did they kill off Hubble so fast? Would have made the show more interesting on how the relationship will work out, specifically why his mother is such a collector boarder hoarder.
I love this show. Very well written and hilarious. I usually never watch new shows during their first season, fearing they may be cancelled and I wasted my time….but this show was the exception for me. Please don’t cancel it!
Lisa you aren’t wasting your time if you really liked a show because it made you feel good during the time you watched it. I really miss the Monk show but have found some new ones to replace, like Rizzoli & Isles.
like the show
I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this show.It’s quirky and funny and sad and wonderful…
I am a Jock and I Love this show!
The writing is witty, clever and a breath of fresh air, especially the way Michelle and Fanny delivers. The Bunhead dancers are adorable and talented and I only hope that the show continues for years!! You could sense that Fanny and Michelle will eventually develop a loving bond that is truly special.
Thank you Bunheads!
I came across the pilot and watched it. I thought it was a great show and started recommending it to friends. I watched the second show and plan on being a regular
love it…witty….endearing….charming….PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL…..AND YES!! THANK GOD IT’S NOT ANOTHER REALITY SHOW!!!!!!!
