BWW Flashback: Freshen Up on Bob Fosse's Most Revelatory Moments Ahead of FOSSE/VERDON

All That Jazz and more is coming to FX. The highly anticipated miniseries Fosse/Verdon premieres tonight, April 9. With excitement building, BroadwayWorld has compiled a list of the most iconic dances and performances of Fosse's career.

Bob Fosse is considered one of the most prolific creators in film, dance and theatre, being inducted into the National Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs, New York in April of 2007.

Spanning five decades, Fosse/Verdon explores the singular romantic and creative partnership between Bob Fosse (Sam Rockwell) and Gwen Verdon (Michelle Williams). He is a visionary filmmaker and one of the theater's most influential choreographers and directors. She is the greatest Broadway dancer of all time. Only Bob can create the groundbreaking musicals that allow Gwen to showcase her greatness. Only Gwen can realize the unique vision in Bob's head. Together, they will change the face of American entertainment - at a perilous cost.
