I had bought this years ago, but somehow never watched it. I've denied myself a jewel. Years ago, Cabaret was the first professionally produced play I saw. The choreography fascinated me, but I couldn't dance and I could sing, so I focused on the music. I enjoyed Chicago with its music and dance, but somehow never made the connection.

As I watched this, I got to see so many great numbers. I have my favorites.
From Act I: Percussion 4 and Big Spender
Act II: I Gotcha and Cool Hand Luke
Act III: Razzle Dazzle and Mr. Bojangles (which brought tears to my eyes)

I am glad for the interviews that were between the acts. It gave Fosse a human face and I learned a lot.

This DVD won't gather dust again.… (altro)
