Carrie Ann Inaba Presents Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Karina Smirnoff on Broadway

Oprah, move over. Carrie Ann Inaba is now joining the ranks of Broadway producer, too.

The Dancing with the Stars judge has signed on as a name above the title of the Latin and ballroom dance spectacular Burn the Floor, which for the first three weeks of its 12-week run will guest star DWTS's Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff in their Broadway debuts.

"I'm thrilled to get my feet wet on Broadway with this wonderful production," Inaba said in a statement Monday. "I've been a fan of Burn the Floor since its inception, and I am honored to be a part of the creative team that is bringing this wonderful show to Broadway."

Conceived, directed, and choreographed by Jason Gilkison, former World Champion Latin and Ballroom dancer and guest choreographer on the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance, Burn the Floor was created as a special performance at Sir Elton John's 50th birthday in 1997. The stage version made its world premiere in the U.K. in 1999.

Broadway previews begin at the Longacre Theatre this Saturday in anticipation of an August 2nd opening.

Carrie Ann Inaba & Artem Chigvintsev Have Split

Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba and her boyfriend of 2½ years, dancer Artem Chigvintsev, have called it quits, Inaba tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"I'm single. Artem and I broke up in the beginning of November," says Inaba, adding, "As much as our relationship was really good," the two realized that neither "was 'the one' for the other. It was very sad to let go of something that was so good on so many levels."

Inaba, 41, first met Chigvintsev, 26, several years ago, while he was competing on the FOX reality show So You Think You Can Dance. The two began dating in 2006.

Calling the breakup amicable, Inaba praises her ex for being "a fine gentleman. I have never gone out with somebody that grounded, always ready to talk it out. I'm very happy for him and the success he's having."

Chigvintsev is currently on tour with the live show Dancing with the Stars, which wraps in Philadelphia Feb. 8. In the meantime, Inaba is prepping for Dancing's eighth TV season, which kicks off March 9 on ABC.
