Like the rest of you, I've spent this week obsessing over 'Fosse Verdon' on FX and especially Gwen Verdon, played brilliantly on the series by Michelle Williams, in a performance that makes you want to reinvestigate what made Gwen so great. Sweet Charity is the perfect place to start. Gwen became a star and won her first Tony in a featured role in Can Can and she gained worldwide acclaim (and number 2 in a total of four Tonys) as Lola in Damn Yankees on stage and screen and of course there were many other shows and movies and TV appearances, but Sweet Charity was the show Bob Fosse (and Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon) created just for her. She may have lost the Tony to Angela Lansbury in Mame, but Gwen got that iconic poster and all those songs.
FX has released a new preview for Fosse/Verdon's second episode, titled 'Who's Got The Pain?' The video shows Gwen and Bob during the beginnings of their relationship and showing the difference in their careers at the time they met.
Watch as both Rockwell and Williams (plus other creative team and cast members like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Steven Levenson, Andy Blankenbuehler, Aya Cash, Kelli Barrett, Bianca Marroquin, Norbert Leo Butz) tell us about about their real-life characters and how they fit into the Fosse/Verdon narrative!
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.
