Re: Fosse/All That Jazz
[email protected]
"All That Jazz" is from the seventies, and based loosely on Bob Fosse's
life (which explains the awesome choreography, since he was involved in
all stages of it and he choreographed all the numbers). It's sort of a
musical - there are lots of musical numbers, anyway. The main character,
Joe, is a director/choreographer living sort of a haphazard life, with
various women, drugs, alcohol, and all that... he also has a 12ish year
old daughter who he puts off and doesn't spend time with. He has a series
of heart attacks but doesn't change and at the end he dies... but the
whole thing is sort of a show within a show within a show... the finale
is a big number with everyone from his life, very Broadway-style.<<<<
Dar, by any chance did she the special last week on Fosse?
Called....ummm..."Fosse"?<g>
It starred Ben Vereen and that woman---I can think her name to same my life.
And a large cast, just doing numbers from Fosse productions. It was AWESOME!
Maybe HBO? Probably because I don't remember any commercials.
Has she seen "The Little Prince" with Fosse as the Ssssssssnake? Gene Wilder
plays the fox.
