All That Jazz

"It's showtime, folks!" Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky are hopping on a Greyhound bus to Broadway to revisit Bob Fosse's semi-autobiographical and tragically prescient All That Jazz. It's a phantasmagorical, warts-and-all look at the life of Joe Gideon, a tortured Broadway director and filmmaker choreographing his way into oblivion. Joe is at war with his second-guessing financiers, his pursuit of perfection, his failing health, and his own raging libido in Fosse's multiple Oscar-winning masterpiece. Prepare to be dazzled by Roy Scheider's fearless, self-excoriating performance, Ann Reinking's virtuosic dance moves, and Alan Heim's manic postmodern editing that keeps it all moving to an unsettling arrhythmic beat. So fire up the Vivaldi, pop some Dexedrine, light up an unfiltered Camel, lubricate your eyeballs, and come take off with us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
