The 1999 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Fosse celebrates the work of director-choreographer Bob Fosse, one of Broadway's and film's truly innovative and distinctive talents. While Fosse's protégé Ann Reinking (also the co-choreographer) and frequent collaborator Ben Vereen are the headliners, the dance revue was conceived as an ensemble piece, so the 32-member cast gets plenty of chances to shine. The nearly two-hour performance features re-creations of dazzling numbers from such milestones as Cabaret ("Mein Herr"), Chicago ("Nowadays"), Sweet Charity ("Big Spender"), The Pajama Game ("Steam Heat"), Dancin' ("I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man"), and All That Jazz ("There'll Be Some Changes Made," among others, but not the stunning "On Broadway" sequence). Reinking, Vereen, and another Fosse collaborator, cast member Dana Moore, also share their memories in interview segments. Filmed in live performance, Fosse stands as a memorial to one man's striking vision, an essential record of many classic routines, and simply a whole lot of fun to watch. --David Horiuchi

- Wonderful!
Of all the Broadway shows released in DVD format, this is the very best I've ever seen. The show is simply spectacular: music, choreographies, dancing are really great. I think it comes quite close to the actual staging and for those who did not see it, it certainlyoffers the opportunity to have a clear idea about it. Technically, the dvd filled up all my expectations: it's very well done. Don't miss the chance to get it, specially to Broadway musical fans.

- Not innovative or cutting edge
When I first started watching Fosse, they start out with "Liza With a Z", and I was thinking to myself, "Oh, my gosh, what have I got myself into?" See, I wasn't too impressed with it, and I was sort of shocked at how my expectations of this DVD were so different from what it really was. Then a little later I was thinking, "At least the dude likes pretty women in skimpy tops, so the dude can't be all bad." Then I realized all the guys had skimpy tops on, too; so I was thinking that the Fosse guy was a little ... Read More
