Musical revue ‘Gotta Dance’ celebrates generations of Broadway choreography Off-Broadway at The York
8 / 10
Among the highlights are ‘Cool’ from West Side Story, with Minard and members of the company embodying the rival gangs of the Sharks and Jets, and enacting their rumble with abstract moves and sounds; the outstanding Burks and LeProtto energetically singing and tapping to ‘Moses Supposes’ from Singin’ in the Rain; the balletic ‘Pas de Deux’ from An American in Paris, beautifully danced by the lithe and graceful Pazcoguin and Cowperthwaite; and the dark ‘Manson Trio’ from Pippin, displaying the spot-on precision of Stanley, Hines, and Pazcoguin as they deliver Fosse’s groundbreaking elements of angularity, isolation, hip rolls, and turned-in knees, employ his signature hats and canes, and leave us with the famous ‘Ta Da’ moment at the end.
