Sing! Sing! Sing! (1 of 2) - Fosse

This wonderful big production number is the finale from the Tony Award-winning revue "Fosse". This is part 1 of 2.

Louis Prima's 1936 composition "Sing Sing Sing" became one of his biggest hits and one of the most covered standards of the swing era; Benny Goodman's performance of the song at Carnegie Hall with a featured performance by Gene Krupa on drums has become iconic.

Well here ya go! I was IN the original company! And when we did it,it was all for one one for all and we Had Zoot Suits! I was the one who swung in from stage left from a bar. I didn't realize how reminiscent Mr Fosse was being until I saw "Kiss Me Kate"

LINES--Ladies and Gentlemen--It is all about lines!! Lines of the body, lines of the head, and especially LINES OF THE ARMS!  Being a ballet dancer first, I believe I was a little more aware of what BOB wanted in most of his work! Every move I made had that trained LINE!! Whoever taught these wonderful dancers--didn't have an awareness of Bob's LINES!! Close but no "Bojangles" cigar!! Take it to the bank! Gary

@dancinman17 Airotica is probably my favorite piece of choreography ever to hit the screen. All of the dancers were amazing and the number itself about as powerful as dance can be in expressing an idea.  Well done!!

There are words to this song. It was written by Louis Prima and when he performed it he sang too. There aren't many lyrics, but they do exist.

Seems the sax section had a bit of trouble keeping up at the start, yeah?

BEING ON BROADWAY--ESPECIALLY WORKING WITH A GENIUS LIKE BOB FOSSE WAS THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!! I did several shows with Bob-and I play Gary (myself) in the movie "All That Jazz" (see AIROTICA)--and performed this number for almost 2 years, both in the Broadway and 1st National Tours of "DANCIN'"// This production PALES to that!! Some are OK, but nobody articulated ALL of the little details that made this number COOK!!! My name is GARY FLANNERY--AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BAMK!!!
