    Editorial Reviews

    At the risk of overstating things, Fosse is more than a tribute show: It's a portrait of a revolution. From his Hollywood directorial debut -- "From This Moment On" in Kiss Me, Kate -- it was clear that Bob Fosse was born to inject new life into staid tap and classical dance styles, inspiring hoofers to dizzying heights of expression in both solo and group contexts. His sublimely slinky style -- a jazzy meld of subtle, suggestive gestures complementing highly kinetic moves -- electrified Broadway and continues to reverberate in popular dance today. This show, winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Musical, is a greatest-hits tour de force. Fosse's accomplishments onstage (Damn Yankees!, Sweet Charity) and screen (Cabaret, All That Jazz) are brought to life by a 32-dancer ensemble led by stars Ann Reinking (his onetime muse) and the immortal Ben Vereen. Brought to vivid, hothouse life again are Sweet Charity's "Big Spender," with its sexy groping group formations, and "Steam Heat," the superbly economical stovepipe pants-and-bowler routine from The Pajama Game. All in all, the show kicks like no other. Tracks include the following:

  • Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries
  • Fosse's World: Calypso/Snake in theGrass
  • Bye Bye, Blackbird
  • Big Spender
  • Crunchy Granola Suite
  • I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man
  • Steam Heat
  • I Gotcha
  • Rich Man's Frug
  • Silky Thoughts/Cool Hand Luke
  • Dancin' Dan (Me and My Shadow)
  • Nowadays
  • The Hot Honey Rag
  • Take Off with Us/Pas de Deux
  • Razzle Dazzle
  • Who's Sorry Now?
  • There'll Be Some Changes Made
  • Mr. Bojangles

  • Sing! Sing! Sing! (Pt. 1)
  • Sing! Sing! Sing! (Pt. 2)

    August 07, 2002: Being from the other side of the pond, I have at an amateur level been involved with lighting shows that Fosse made famous. Having missed out on the UK version I was determined to see the NY show. We were there last August and saw the show with those appearing in the DVD as the cast , so don't know better about whether others were better! I saw it the last Tuesday of it's run and was very impressed. The show video is great and very unusual in that there are not often videos done of stage shows.

    May 16, 2002: I saw ''Fosse'' on Broadway shortly after it opened and even bought the original cast CD at the Broadhurst Theatre. The performers in the ''Fosse'' video are not the originals. Missing are Valarie Pettiford, Jane Lanier and Elizabeth Parkinson, to name a few. The addition of Ann Reinking and Ben Verreen (both past their primes) actually diminishes the show.Ben's substitution for Valarie in ''Bowl of Cherries'' and ''Blackbird'' was downright embarrassing. That said, if you're a Bob Fosse fan (as I am), the video is better than nothing.
