Bitch dont mess with my chita! This is art there is no sin in art, art is creativity not sin! Religious ppl these days! There is nothing sinful about this performance only ppl w/ dirty minds think that way!

Though agree that Gween Verdon's talent was 'par excellance' Juliet Prouse gets little attention. She had better legs than Cyd Charisse, better timing than Marge Champion. She was indeed a 'dancers dancer' As an aside, I saw the touring company of Chicago with Jasmine Guy...not a bad job.

jeez, those legs! love it!

OH GOD. I wish I could have been there to see this!! And to meet Gwen and Bob. RIP. ='(

Alright people. FIrst of all, Chicago opened in 1975, nothing was considered sinful in New York at that time. Haha. Second off, this is brilliant choreography. Fosse is known for the intricacies in his work. The smaller the move, the more effect it has. PLEASE stop judging the work of legends. Fosse created his own look, his own style and choreographers these days look to his work for inspiration. Just because there aren't triple turns and a kick past the face, doesn't mean this isn't amazing.

It seems like they weren't in sync.like they were fighting to see who would do it like the other. the other video of them on mike douglas was awful.
-
This isn't anything near the TRUE Fosse choreo that was done for Chicago. I could never understand why they showed this
-
Hot Honey Rag is more what you might be looking for,although he was superb with isolated movement and unorthodox positioning,all which fit me like a glove. I learned a lot from him

They are icons. Slipsnob is a big KNOB. :)



I don't think that there will be a dancer born in my lifetime, that is as wonderful as Gwen Verdon. So spot-on precise, yet so relaxed. She was THE BEST I ever saw. And I am 51, and my mother, who is 80, and a former dancer, said she never, in her lifetime, EVER saw any dancer who could match Gwen. And Fosse was the best choreographer EVER, in our opinion. God rest their souls. He is creating dances in Heaven, and Gwen is dancing, and training the other dancers, as she did in life.BRAVO!
