@@jordymatheson2941 Tune is the only person to win Tony Awards in the same categories (Best Choreography and Best Direction of a Musical) in consecutive years (1990 and 1991), and the first to win in four categories. He has won ten Tony Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015.
The ultimate Fosse woman and I mean that in a great way! She is such a fabulous dancer in her own right but I hope the "Fosse style" didn't die with her. She was a master at it. I miss her so much. Truly a legend and a grand lady!
Of course very rare to find dancers like Ann Reinking and specially who can fully use his style and create something new. But I'm sure the Fosse style will live on one way or another in musical theatre like Broadway at least. I have never danced in my life and I'mobsessed with Fosse, Ann and Gwen Verdon. You just can see and feel the passion someone has for dance. And anyway his style looks very timeless. At least I hope.
I once heard Tommy Tune describe himself as being 5' 18". Probably the only person who could partner the mighty Ann Reinking and match her for leg length.
Choreography needs a credit. The two of them? George and Gracie? Fosse? Some combo of the above? Choreography should always be credited, in any case....
"Every thing old is new again"!!! Pay attention to Ann watching Tommy. She is making sure she is in step with him. That is a Fosse MO. Make the one you are dancing with be the center of attention. Her queues are dead on beat. Gwen was the same. Thank you for posting.
Had the pleasure of seeing them onstage in Bye Bye Birdie at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco. What a pleasure and honor. Ann was an amazing dancer, her moves were incredible.
I saw Tommy and Lucie Arnaz together at that same S. Fran. theater in "My One and Only." in 1986...seems like yesterday.....it was his 1000th performance of that show and Tommy's mom and (the mayor) Feinstein and Carol Channing came onstage after the show to honor that show's milestone of perfs.
