We don't get many posts here about the art of choreography and it's possible that nobody is interested. I came across this tonight that reminded me about
Bob Fosse. He is probably the most famous choreographer in Broadway history, though notoriously difficult to work for. His style is distinctive and easy to identify. This is classic Fosse, The Rich Man's Frug, from the musical, Sweet Charity.

Minute details in arm and hand movements were his forte.

Along with unusual body angles in Caberet.

He won a Tony award for this show even though it was a flop. "Big Deal", has anyone ever heard of it?
