Watch liza with a z, for true Fosse choreography! I love Ann Reinking, but she butchered his choreography... She made it too girly x

My mom was a ballet dancer….she brought me up in theater….my parents exposed me to show business at an early age….i got to see backstage at plays concerts and recitals …..I learned it’s all about creating the hype then the show if the show is engaging then the people will eat it up…..THEY WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED…..SO GIVE THEM A SHOW…..BIG MOVES BIG PASSION = BIG APPLAUSE 🎉

Love the eclectic dance of Fosse. Jazz, ballet, body isolation movements. Unique from Astaire, Kelley, Balanchine, Donald O'Connor. Some of it becomes too much of the same. Has anyone expanded on this type of choreography?

In the early 1990's, I was living in a rural smaller town area called Blackfoot, Idaho. I would stare at an old framed photo on the wall, a gathering of men wearing women's clothing. I always wondered what in the heck it was. Decades past, I moved out of Idaho but I found the picture again on an Idaho history FB page. There was a clue in the picture, a circus poster. People in the FB group helped me figure out the mystery, it was a Vaudeville group that was travelling thru Idaho by train, pre WW1. They had stopped in downtown Blackfoot and posed for the picture.

This is so great, too bad the states has no respect for the past. Everything always has to be new and approved, out with old in with the new. This Vaudeville could have survived given little respect, it might have changed a bit but it could have survive. 😢

I read once that the world almost never heard of the Nicholas Brothers because there were some folks who didn't want them filmed or seen in or on anything mainstream. They were actively trying to destroy children! Can you believe it?! Sad.... What I feel bad for is all you didn't get to see. The people in this video were only the ones who got famous enough to be filmed. There was a ton of talent that never got the spotlight....

Vaudeville was the fire under the ' great melting pot' from which emerged the American sense of humor, good spirited, self effacing , ethnic humor. " Laugh at me, I'm German, or Irish, or Jewish, or Black.......... but you wouldn't be laughing if you didn't understand what I am saying."

The next time you happen upon something like the Renaissance Faire, take note of the stage shows like "Broon" or "Moonie" or even the acrobatic shows. Vaudeville still exists in these forms today and you'll find some of them even have lineage back to the original Vaudevillian days. While my great grandfather "Stan Stanley" wrote "The Pleasure Man" with Mae West and was one of the witnesses next to her in court in 1930 (NYC kept busting their plays), the theater tradition didn't make it through the generations due to family issues. But my grandmother always had stories about her father for me and I have a small treasure trove of keepsakes (Vaudeville fliers, photos, newspaper clippings, etc.). The furthest I ever got was indeed doing street theater gigs at the Faire (you could say it's low level performance as it's all improv but it takes good skill). Faire always felt like family to me and maybe there's something to all that. Even when you see the actual street performers in places like Hollywood, where Batman and Spiderman have a rap-off, that's Vaudeville people. It still lives in a slew of current forms. Throw a dollar in the hat, stick around and clap before you leave. What little is left should be appreciated.

My great grandmother was one of Florence Ziegfeld's girls in the follies. Her husband was a grip working the stage during the elaborate performances. They traveled the country and did vaudeville road shows before settling down with a family. The performance bug got to the family and everyone on my father's side was a vaudeville performer. Drag shows, comedy skits, dance and music performances, you name it. The shed by the side of the house didn't hold yard tools..it held costumes, wigs and props. I only have one reel of footage from this side of the family, so it's nice to see what they could have been doing..it helps me understand where I come from.

That's amazing to hear, thank you for sharing! And the fact you have actual footage! I think it's great you get to have that reminder of your family's lineage, it's a very rare one indeed and you seem to be proud of it (as you should be). Did your immediate family ever do anything in show business or yourself? Or have you found yourself being drawn to such productions subconsciously or anything similar? I often think that children of such creative people have proclivities for such things. Random note about drag shows in Vaudeville - people don't know that gay rights were being fought for 100 years ago in NYC and Vaudeville. It wasn't the REASON for having drag in their shows but the activists did use it heavily. I don't mean to insert that as a political commentary or anything, just something to share. Regardless, the police were constantly at odds with performances being "too risque". My great grandfather 'Stan Stanley' worked with Mae West on "Pleasure Man" which was supposedly so offensive it made big news and that 1928 performance is what got Mae West dragged into court in 1930. You can find news on her story online quite easily now. Here's one I found rather quickly. bust.com/movies/194948-the-arrest-of-mae-west.html In the very last photo at the bottom, my great grandfather is the man immediately to the left of her. The only thing I have of him and his wife (who paired with him in their acts) is a giant folder full of flyers, newspaper clippings and even a letter he drafted for sending to Ole Olsen (big player in the scene back then). A submission of his was accepted by Ole and it was discussing making the production. That and a news portrait of my family, but it was missing one person - my grand mother. Written on the back was a note to the effect of "Couldn't find you, you were off with friends". Some other photo referred to Mae West as "Auntie Mae" (was just a nickname - no relation). I apologize if that's TL;DR, I didn't mean my response to be all about my stuff. Much of my meaning is, I bet your family has tons of stories brushing elbows with the stars of the time with all sorts of interesting tidbits. Especially in how it was all produced back then - that would be fascinating. I sometimes muse that if I had one wish, I'd like to have one day to spend with my grandparents and have them tell me all of their stories. Have you been able to find a way to digitize that reel you mentioned? Or anything else that you might have? That footage is precious, and I'm glad you have it but please preserve it and even upload it so it can at least float on the web for all time :)

P.S. Al Jolson said, "you ain't heard nothin' yet," and blacked up to say so... (my own grandfather sang in a barbershop quartet in the 1930s as a young man and he and his fellow singers, all white folks, blacked up, too....I remember asking my dad why Grandpa would do that. Daddy explained that was just how people entertained back then).
