You have till July 27 to catch this brief shining theater offering. THE MOST underrated talent in show biz remains my pal Sam Harris, a guy who can do it all.

... Gwen Verdon, for whom the character of the temptress Lola was choreographed (by future husband Bob Fosse) in 1955. She actually fares okay, considering the degree of difficulty and the murkier work on every side: Her castmates, director, and designers have all done much better work elsewhere. Right from the start, there’s a rushed, slapdash feel to the proceedings. It’s hard to imagine that...

As Lola, Krakowski is obviously the star of the show, vamping nimbly through Bob Fosse's demanding, sometimes downright weird (as opposed to funny or sexy) choreography and singing the show's best number—"Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets"—with transcendant pizzazz . She's a delight to watch, even if it makes no sense that the audience is supposed to root for the heartfelt...

The Pantheon of Macho-Fey (Bright Lights After Dark)

noreply@blogger.com (Erich Kuersten) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:36:00 GMT

Sends like some evil tournament Bruce Li would enter, but no - "macho-fey" is a term coined by the celestial Kim Morgan ( Sunset Gun ) to describe the appeal of Roy Scheider/Bob Fosse in ALL THAT JAZZ. Fosse was, we must remember, a trailblazer in the art of being both a womanizing hetero-hedonist and a choreographer. Scheider is blazingly brilliant as Fosse's fictional counterpart,...

Da Butt: With a 'Z' (Slog)

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:18:02 GMT

I have watched Liza Minnelli's 1972 performance of "I Gotcha" (from Liza with a 'Z' , choreographed by Bob Fosse) more times than I care to enumerate, but on a recent viewing I noticed a few things I hadn't seen before. Almost two minutes into the clip, I found myself asking, "Wait, did Liza just do the Tootsie Roll?" The answer is yes. Then she does The Matrix, Da Butt, and the most spastic...

It falls to the dance arranger to support the movement with music, so Howard worked not just with the late Bob Fosse, the director and choreographer of Chicago, but also with Gower Champion, Danny Daniels and Baayork Lee. On the Gershwin-scored dance-heavy show, Crazy For You, whose London run starred Ruthie Henshall, Howard once again provided both incidental music and dance arrangements, winning...

A delightful musical remake of a 1942 Rosalind Russell film of the same name. The story is mostly situational, but the musical numbers choreographed by Bob Fosse are striking and cast is first-rate. Oh, and there’s also Janet Leigh in wide screen Technicolor.
