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.

I love this show. I really, really hope it does not get canceled.
Possibly the best TV show I have ever watched. Different and so well written and casted. With all the garbage on TV it was such a nice surprise. PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!
Please keep Bunheads on, a very refreshing , enjoyable show
This show is worth saving. Please renew. Not very many good shows left to watch.
I love this show. 😉
[;ease dont take this show off the air. love it! very Gilmore-like.
Love the show.
I love this show…
One of the best shows on TV…PLEASE DON’T CANCEL…
BUNHEADS WAS FRESH ! QUICK, QURIKY BUT STILL CURRENT USE OF LIFES TERMS…….WE WANT BUNHEADS BACK PLEASE…WILL PAY CASH …
I love this show!! I hope it runs for many many seasons to come! It’s entertaining, fun and witty!!! Love It, Love It, Love It!!!!!!
I love this show.
This show always puts a smile on my face. Can’t wait until it comes back.
This is a great show that should not be canceled! The quick wit and quirky situations are so funny especially in a ballet environment. I was hooked on Gilmore Girls, now I’m hooked on Bunheads! Superb writing and mostly clean, compared to a lot of other shows.
Bunheads is by far one of the best new shows on the TV. I love, love, love it! It most definately should be renewed. Please let us know the outcome. With talent, the arts, music, smart intelligent story lines and a rich, delicious cast of visual images it would be a huge misgiving to cancell this show. As Donna Summer would say, “Please don’t leave us this way”.
