Bob Fosse transformed dance on stage and film and Dancin’ was one of his most pivotal shows. After two decades of trying, the show is now reimagined for the 21st Century.
the audience is told that the show is a “plotless musical,” every number tells a story. “The show is a journey through the human existence,” says Fosse. “Love, fear, love lost, courage, patriotism and doubt is all explored in these poems that create the show.”After opening on Broadway in 1978, Dancin’ was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, ran for 1,774 performances and brought Fosse his seventh Tony Award for Best Choreography.
For Fosse, who has been devoted to preserving and protecting the artistry of both her parents through the Verdon Fosse Legacy, which she created, believes that her father would be thrilled with this new iteration of. “Yes, the performers are dancers—their legs go up, they spin and do all the technical dance things. But they are all great storytellers and brilliant actors,” says Fosse.
“As my mother, [Gwen Verdon], used to say, ‘at some point, I don't give a rat's ass if I start on my right foot or my left foot. I need to know what I am doing.’ And every performer on that stage is so in touch with who they are in every given moment.”From left: Peter John Chursin, Ida Saki, Ioana Alfonso and Mattie Love
