Bob once told me (and the rest of the family at a get together) that he didn,\'t get a divorce because he had a mortal fear of waking up in a New Jersey motel married again. It was probably his sense of humor.
Michael Fosse Michael, I was Fosse’s book assistant on Chicago. In spite of the stellar resumes of the creators of this series, it was wrong to tell his story against “Me, too” and they did not tell his truth. He was a genius who couldn’t suffer fools and there were a lot of them around. He liked me because I told him the truth. He was one of the funniest people I ever met, and he was the world’s best friend. He had quite a posse. I had the time of my life and got a graduate education in theater.
Michelle Williams won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild SAG Award for her phenomenal role as Gwen Verdon in the FX limited series Fosse/Verdon, Sam Rockwell was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a SAG Award for his phenomenal work as Bob Fosse in the series and I love them both, they are the best.
I still love Bob, Gwen and Anne, I've never seen anything like them or the love and honesty they all had. With such extraordinary talent you'd never expect such openness and self knowledge, but it was there & that showed in everything the 3 of them did. A Fosse show would never exist without that incredible woman Gwen and their legacy would never exist without the amazing Anne and the genuine respect, love & friendship between all three! I miss them and will never tire of watching them in every single performance they ever did.💖❤️💋🇭🇲
Loved this mini-series! I would say that, while I understand Verdon's perspective on the Nowadays Chicago number, Fosse was right, it works best as a duet.
The only 2 Broadway musicals I went to see were His work Chicago and Cabaret. Too expensive and musicals are not my thing in general. Thanks for doing this. They were both brilliant at what they did and this miniseries was great to see
Sorry to tell you but Bob Fosse wasn’t involved in any stage production of ‘Cabaret’. He only did the movie which came after the original stage production.
Ian Smith holy crap I had no idea! Thanks for bursting my bubble lol. I thought the choreography was at least done by him. Live and learn. It was a great show anyhow
@@batgurrl It was directed by Hal Prince but I'm not sure who did the original choreography. Most productions know do have a Fosse bent to the staging as the movie is so iconic :) sorry to burst the bubble!!
HEY, I PLAY YOUNG FOSSE HOLY COW I MADE IT INTO A MRS MOJO VIDEO - or at least i was mentioned lol. It was such a fantastic opportunity to work, dance, and act along side all these fantastic people and i wish i could go back and do it again!
Wow this is a very special clip of Bob Fossie dancing. I knew so little about him, back then. Love him and Tommy Rall dance number. I'd like to see more of Bob dancing. So fantastic of a dancer. I adored Gwen Verdon. I love Who's Got the Pain dance number with Bob. Liked to see them dance together. They were so cute together. 😍
One of Ryan Murphy’s best. You are truly taken into the heart of this relationship and not for one minute are you taken out of it. So engrossing. Sam and Michelle are brilliance personified.
I loved Michelle as Gwen but after watching Gwen's live performances I just really wished the body and dance ability was showcased more maybe with a body double or someone who can act just as good as Michelle but also dance.
Isn’t it funny how one’s opinions could differ so much from another’s. I personally liked this production and thought Michelle Williams did wonderfully. I will say that I try not to over analyze performances, content, etc. I just enjoy my emotional / visceral response.
In the clips of Gwen Verdon as a younger woman, I see a lot of Christina Hendricks--so much that I looked her up to see if they were family. She would also have been an excellent pick for this role.
The story of Verdon and Fosse is a total picture of life in mid-late 20thC theatre. Their own lives were complete vaudeville. I think the series here gave us performances as balanced as they could have been and the style and costumes and faithful dance recreations were very strong. Fosse was portrayed a little more cynical than his personality was in appearance but that highlighted his demons. Williams was very strong and was eerie channeling Verdon...she just did not have the killer dance body at all. Fosse and Verdon like a multitude of of people in the world of show business were victims and survivors of sexual abuse. Gwen was was better adjusted than Bob was to her traumas. Bob fell into the hedonistic cycles and the inability to be honest about his abusive antics and projections on innocent people. And naturally this was directed on the females all around him... with few escaping his tricks. Gwen became codependent and suffered from low self esteem no doubt feeling she had to rescue every man. This was clearly guilt over her child she left behind to work after being raped into marriage. Between the both of them they managed at different stages to stay involved in the business and live creator/ muse/ collaborative colleague dynamics. This is no small feat. It’s a shame that Bob couldn’t be treated for his neurosi. He became the more famous. Fosse the choreographer is absolutely legend. It was legend by the 1980’s. I think Gwen is remembered more as the famous magical dance star that she really, really was. I really like that his crew carried the style all over the world spearheaded by luminaries Ben Vereen and Ann Reinking. The series certainly showed “life in a trunk” and the weary journey of “treading the boards” from start to finish. Their legacy is growing every decade. How men and women fight with each other using sexuality, talent , loneliness, joy and movement. Their message is manifold. For the world to learn and discover. But mostly to be utterly entertained.
A 13 year old boy with grown women is most certainly statutory rape at least and molestation at best for certain. I'm sure it scarred him, but his (Fosse) addictions and disregard for staying faithful in marriage may have been a symptom of such abuse, i do not view it as a valid excuse for him. Every case and person is different, and this is not in any way meant a generalization from him, to any other victim. Every individual deals with things in their own way.
In that time and place, that would not have been called statutory rape perpetrated on a 13 year old boy. Had a man done it then to him, yes, it would have been. But a woman, or in his case a number of grown women, doing so would have been considered "completing his education". This is considered wrong in today's world, and it is an accurate estimation by today's standards, but at that time and place it was not. Context matters. It was like Roddenberry hiring an Asian man and a black woman to the major cast of a series set in the far future was, by the context of the time of the setting, normal. By the context of the time of the show, however, it was a departure, unheard of and without precedent. The network pleaded with Roddenberry to change the casting, or change the roles. Roddenberry would do neither, and he nearly lost the opportunity to make the show. Then the network had a change in executives. They gave him a little rope, and basically told him the choice was his. The question was, would he use that rope to tie a tether or a noose?
I'm just now watching it for the first time, in January 2023. Not only does Michelle Williams look A LOT like Gwen Verdon, with a different hairdo she could be a dead ringer for Mary Tyler Moore!
Nobody here is looking to besmirch Michelle Williams or her dedication to effectively donning the skin of beloved, and unforgettable Gwen Verdon in the FX series, 'Fosse/Verdon.' What is at issue here, (and a DAMN BIG ISSUE at that) is the seemingly insidious, one sided, uneven playing field this fictionalized TV show casts upon its subjects, legendary Broadway choreographer Bob Fosse and his archetypal muse and chief collaborator Gwen Verdon. The series production values were phenomenal, the actors top drawer, and yet thankfully several major players (Ann Reinking and John Rubenstein among others) affirmed our disappointments in their own write-ups on the series. It was apparent in the first NYTimes write-up that came out about Fosse/Verdon, they clearly were trying to warn us. It's a damn shame this series has gone off the deep end the way it has. Michelle Williams is so amazing, and this series could have catapulted Bob and Gwen's legacy to wonderful, ground breaking new heights. What it's done instead is leave many of us awash in an extremely uneven, dour and heavy handed soap opera. NICE GOING producers... you didn't need to destroy Bob Fosse utterly in your depiction, in order to elevate Gwen to the heights she clearly deserved. Hope you have some semblance of understanding with how angry so many of us are, and will remain… That's the tricky thing about the written word vs a creative visual medium which 'allegedly' represents the facts. Bob Fosse may very well have been 'messed up' but the bottom line was he was a Maverick, 'think outside the box' artistic genius who worked through his 'issues' more often than not, and in doing so created a never to be repeated place for himself, and his amazing wife/partner Gwen. There could be any number of reasons why the series seemed more intent on portraying Bob as a nut job, rather than as the artistic genius he was...(disgruntled daughter who needs some bucks maybe?) but sadly it is in fact guilty of doing just that. It spends WAY too much time hurling the viewer into one extremely maudlin, dark, mentally addled 'Bob' scenario after another till frankly it became a tiresome, overdone gimmick. I could literally feel my blood pressure elevating while watching that damn show, because I just knew it was taking an irresponsible, salacious stance in its portrayal of him.
This mini series could have caused Fosse's status to be lowered in my imagination, could have broken the spell of his creative magnificence. Fortunately it just made me hungry to discover the authentic Bob Fosse.
Fosse was undoubtedly a genius. He was also a lifelong dickhead of epic proportions. The series is fair in its portrayal of him and all Gwen did for him. The age of the white male genius who gets to treat everyone else like shit without being (at least posthumously) shown for exactly who he is is very much over now, friend. If they had simply glorified Fosse (as many productions have already done), this thing wouldn't have been worth making. Bob Fosse had an incredible impact on the landscape of dance. And a terrible impact on those, esp. women, around him.
I couldn't stand Michelle Williams in the series, Fosse/Verdon. She acted more like Shirley McClain than Gwen Verdon. She made Verdon look stupid and gullible in love. It was painful to watch. But Sam Rockwell was excellent as always. Just saying.
I agree, I got so annoyed with her whining I had to fast forward. It should have been named Martyr Verdon. Sam can really dance too, the series really could have been so much better had they shown some of the Fosse prowess on the dancefloor. Also, their daughter went on to Star in A Chorus Line! No mention of that in the credits🙄 It could have been a great series.
Yes she was so horrible she won major awards for her performance. I am a HUGE fan of Gwen Verdon and Michelle Williams, whose face, body and voice are not similar to Gwen Verdon's in any way, convinced me that she was her. I think she's a brilliant actor - she totally transformed into Gwen Verdon.
@@barbaraladouceur6305 She is a great actress, just not a dancer. On the other hand, Julianne Hough is a good dancer, but a bad actress, so that wouldn't work either.
This was the most BORING bio/pic I have ever watched. I kept watching because I was waiting for 'something to happen'. Maybe it's only ME or a matter of interest or taste !
I binge watched it in one weekend and was fascinated. My early dance classes were to Fosse style Jazz. Were you a fan of Fosse or Verdon before? I've seen the musicals Dancin', Chicago, and others. Loved "All That Jazz". I'm not sure what I'd have thought of it without that background. Watching it gave me insight into the dance style and filled in much of what I didn't know about his life with Verdon.
Have you seen Fosse/Verdon? Which of these facts surprised you? Let us know below!
no i have not
i seen pieces of it on Lin-Manuel Miranda's twitter (he posted about it)
All of them
Im.a huge fan so I could not wait
No. Looks fascinating, though.
My parents took me to New York to see Hello Dolly and the sights. We decided to see a second show, but couldn't decide. I suggested Sweet Charity. They thought it wasn't appropriate for a 12-yr-old. They decided to ask an expert for advice; our waiter. He agreed with me. We all loved the show.
Michelle Williams gives a Daniel Day-Lewis level performance. She doesn't just show the character, she shows the years.
Not Lewis, silly
Agreed. She nails Gwen Verdon.
Michelle Williams is always amazing, thought she was brilliant in this
She was a revaluation! Fantastic!
Bob Fosse was so right about Nowadays in Chicago being a duet.
0:11 is that Michelle or Gwen (j/k). I heard Bob once say Gwen had a face like a light bulb; she lit up the stage. GORGEOUS!!!
Michelle, Sam and the whole cast is sooooo amazingly good in this. They’re just perfect! I love Bianca Marroquin as Chita.
No wonder Michelle Williams won an award. Her portrayal of Gwen Verdon was eerily accurate. RIP BOB and GWEN. How amazingly talented you were.
Bob once told me (and the rest of the family at a get together) that he didn,\'t get a divorce because he had a mortal fear of waking up in a New Jersey motel married again. It was probably his sense of humor.

@@LLBrumfield Thank you for telling that story. Amazing.
I feel that Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon were the Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor of musical theatre.
albert penuelaz great analogy👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
That's a pretty good comparison.
No no, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were the Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon of film! Haha, great comparison!!
Michelle Williams won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild SAG Award for her phenomenal role as Gwen Verdon in the FX limited series Fosse/Verdon, Sam Rockwell was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a SAG Award for his phenomenal work as Bob Fosse in the series and I love them both, they are the best.
What a beautifully crafted and acted show. Michelle Williams was brilliant.
Michelle Williams played Gwen Verdon sooooo well!
Omg SO HAPPY someone made a video on the actual facts of this show!! Kept making sure when it aired if things were right or not, LOVE FOSSE/VERDON!!
We're glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Haley!
I have been waiting for this list since the last episode aired back in May.
I saw Jerry Orbach in the Fantastiks. Wish I has seen him with Gwen Verdon in Chicago.

With such extraordinary talent you'd never expect such openness and self knowledge, but it was there & that showed in everything the 3 of them did.

Interesting story about talented but damaged people. Fosse had genius in his craft. As is shown with the list of his successful musicals.
I loved this limited series...and seeing this list (and the fact/fiction of it all being sorted out) only amplifies it.
The woman who plays Gwen Verdon sounds and looks almost EXACTLY like her! Uncanny.
I think that Michelle Williams is one of the best actresses alive
Michelle Williams is very talented.
Michelle Williams
Really, no way. Look at the real Shirley McClain and you'll see Michelle Williams acting.
Reverse reincarnation?

JN Productions that’s awesome! You did a great job.
Art Teacher NC hey thanks it was so much hard work but it was extremely worth it in the end
This was such a good show.
i saw pieces of Fosse/Verdon on Lin-Manuel Miranda's Twitter, when he posted about it (he promoted it the night i went to see Hamilton in Detroit)
He was in the episode about 'All That Jazz' playing Roy Scheider as well as being a producer for Fosse/Verdon.
Wow this is a very special clip of Bob Fossie dancing. I knew so little about him, back then. Love him and Tommy Rall dance number. I'd like to see more of Bob dancing. So fantastic of a dancer.

Truly a great biography about both Fosse and Verdon. The performances are all wonderful.
Michelle Lee needs to play Shirley MacLaine
Ann Reinking and Gwen Verdon were best friends and they continued Fosse's work after his death
Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams as Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon in the FX series Fosse/Verdon
Michelle Williams!!!!! A Top 3 actress. Award is longgggggggggggggggg overdue!!!!
One of Ryan Murphy’s best. You are truly taken into the heart of this relationship and not for one minute are you taken out of it. So engrossing. Sam and Michelle are brilliance personified.
It's not by Ryan Murphy.
Gregory House my mistake. I see fx and miniseries and I go straight to Ryan Murphy lol
Lonell Fletcher ss
Thank god Ryan Murphy didn’t get his mitts on this.😝
It’s good because it was made by actual theatre people and NOT Ryan Murphy
havent even watched the series but now i definitely want to !
Bob Fosse, Sam Rockwell, Michelle Williams... what is not to love about this...????
Can you imagine the heartbreak of the performers when they learned of Fosse's passing on the way to their performance of his work?
Yes Albert, I totally agree with you. About the 2 couples.
Very very great list I like it a lot
Thank you a lot for like my comment
Thank you a lot for like my comment please do more videos like this one please

Michelle has become about the best actress of our time.
In the clips of Gwen Verdon as a younger woman, I see a lot of Christina Hendricks--so much that I looked her up to see if they were family. She would also have been an excellent pick for this role.
Michelle Williams definitely deserved that Emmy. It was like she was possessed by Gwen.

That's the tricky thing about the written word vs a creative visual medium which 'allegedly' represents the facts. Bob Fosse may very well have been 'messed up' but the bottom line was he was a Maverick, 'think outside the box' artistic genius who worked through his 'issues' more often than not, and in doing so created a never to be repeated place for himself, and his amazing wife/partner Gwen.

@@mindy56374 well, and also didn't Fosse, himself, own up to being a colossal dickhead in All That Jazz?
I don't believe him. No doubt he had a chick habit, but it is not because of under age sex. His film about Lenny Bruce brilliant.
