DWTS pro Kym Johnson is Broadway bound

It's a long way from Sydney, Australia to Broadway, but
Dancing With the Stars professional dancer
Kym Johnson is making the trek and she couldn't be happier. This season's favorite to win, alongside partner Donny Osmond, has signed on to appear in
Burn The Floor, currently running on Broadway, after the show's finale. While Kym's making her Broadway debut, she's quite familiar with the high-energy show. "I was in the original cast of
Burn the Floor," Kym tells
In Touch. "We work-shopped it and I was part of the 1999 cast. In fact we performed at Elton John's birthday party and Donny was there. I didn't know he was a guest at the party. It's crazy! They asked me if I would like to come back," says Kym, adding "a lot of the cast is still the same people. That was my family for six years. I lived with them and toured the world with them. I am so excited. Broadway has been a dream of mine since I was a kid." Kym isn't the only one thrilled about performing in the Big Apple, Donny is just as happy for her. "I am dancing with a Broadway star and it's fantastic," Donny tells
In Touch." But there is still one thing left for both Donny and Kym to accomplish before she starts her new gig - win this season of
DWTS.
