| Summary |
We see Bob Fosse's legacy everywhere--from Broadway to 'Billy Jean' to Beyonce's moves in the 'Single ladies' video. Yet in spite of Fosse's deep cultural significance, no biography has ever brought him fully to life, unveiling the man behind the bowler hat and the swaggering sex appeal. Now, ... cultural historian Sam Wasson traces Fosse's numberless reinventions of himself over a career that would spawn The Pajama game, Cabaret, Pippin, Chicago, All that jazz, and other iconic works of art and earn him Tonys, Emmys, and an Oscar. |
