Summary

A tribute to the man behind such favorites as "Cabaret, " "Chicago, " "Sweet Charity, " and "Pippin." A mixture of physically aggressive dance moves and dazzling visual style, Bob Fosse's approach to theater revolutionized how we experience music and dance, while his mixture of cynicism and sentiment remains timely decades after his death. Join one of Fosse's most gifted collaborators, Ann Reinking, as she and a wild, gyrating cast take you through such memorable standards as "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries, " "Steam Heat, " "Mein Herr, " and the unforgettable "Big Spender."
