    Fosse’s choreography of Bye. Bye Blackbird is pure Broadway magic! There are so many wonderful moments in this show. The whole cast, led by Ann Reinking and Ben Vereen, is superb.

    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

    • @selja26
      @selja26  5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I love the way he allows such huge personal style differences and it still works so good. Like in this clip - a boy is a young cat and a man is an old dog and it looks perfect :)

    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.

    • @timmellin2815
      @timmellin2815 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
