Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon were integral to some of the 20th century’s biggest musicals
“FOSSE/VERDON”, a new mini-series about two Broadway legends, could have been a simple paean to the magic of the stage. Bob Fosse , a director, and his wife Gwen Verdon , a dancer, helped to create hits such as “Damn Yankees!”, “Chicago” and “Cabaret". There is plenty of exquisite choreography, as legs kick in perfect time and dazzling costumes shimmer on twisting bodies, plus a sparkling rendition of “Big Spender”.
Mr Rockwell’s thoughtful and pained performance elicits a surprising amount of sympathy for Fosse, even as he behaves appallingly. One excruciating scene shows a lead dancer refusing his sexual advances; she is subsequently fired. But the decision to give Verdon equal billing in the production was a wise one . She emerges as a quiet kind of hero, helped by an elegant performance by Ms Williams.
