I'm watching now, and have only gotten as far as "Satisfied", but so far, I don't see the dance element of the show as being choreography. To me, it's much more a ballet.

In terms of the storytelling for this show, the dance is on its own storytelling track. If you physically removed the singers (by now, most of us know the score pretty well), and ran the show with only the dance, lighting and orchestra, you would see the same story being told, but from a different angle/perspective.

My only disappointment in this filming (so far) is how the "rewind" section of Satisfied was filmed. I WANTED TO SEE THE FULL EFFECT - not interspersed jump cuts to close-ups!!! (ruined it for me).

I think Daveed Diggs’ facial expressions make it worth the watch alone.
