I love watching the hands, feet and head movements of each performer! The time and energy put into every Fosse movie and play make it so entertaining for whoever is watching! What a tribute to have those who performed in the original also perform in the tribute!!

Just take a minute to watch Ben Vereen -- in his mid 60s doing this show. Reinking was in her early 60s at the time. She has sadly passed, but Ben Vereen is still going strong.

Fosse was the “people’s” choreographer, he instinctively just knew how to capture dance with human mannerisms and in a style he admittedly agreed was because he himself struggled to be what dancers called turned out. His style lives on in theatre, dance, movies and fashion to this day

The best bet I ever won was when I bet my dad that fast his choreography was actually hard. He made everything look so easy and fluid, but after I sent my dad an ex-football coach to see a production of fossae with a touring company, he mentioned that the move that they were able to do meant to that they had to be in shape because all of Flossies movements come from your core and your thighs meaning you have to have extremely strong areas of both to be able to do them. He was and will always be a master!

I think Fosse would be spinning in his grave if he saw this. What the hell is Ben Vereen doing on the stage. He can't carry the simplest of choreography that he's giving. And many of the dancers just don't really get it. An example, Bob Fosse isolated movements so they didn't go up and down. 2:31 watch the two women in the front bounce up and down as they come across the stage while the men on either side of them nail it by isolating the movement so that the arms and shoulders create the illusion of the body moving up what's ahead in the body don't move up and down a single inch. The whole group is poorly synchronized throughout the piece and Fossi wouldn't have tolerated this nonsense.
@timmellin28159 ай бұрын
Maybe....but Vereen was a classic in his prime and a Fosse favorite. Okay, he's obviously old and not as mobile, but it's nice they added him to the show as a tribute to the old master. Everyone slows down as they get older. You just don't toss them out, just cuz they can't perform as in their prime. Exception: I saw Harold Nicholas in My One and Only and it was obvious he didn't lose any of this skills in his later years.
