some good dancing
22 May 2023
A Broadway production loses its star and the producers need to find a replacement quick. A bevy of beauties answers the call. Different producers pick different girls. Gofer Bob Dowdy (Bob Fosse) falls for newbie Suzy Doolittle (Debbie Reynolds). Director Ted Sturgis (Gower Champion) is interested, but another picks Madelyn Corlane (Marge Champion) although she has history with Ted. There is also expert dancer Joanna Moss.

This has Debbie Reynolds and a super young Bob Fosse. Ira Gershwin is working with Burton Lane. Marge Champion and Gower Champion are a married dancing couple. This has plenty of talent. Individually, there are interesting moments. The Champions are serious dancers and they are good actors. I would probably cut out Joanna Moss who is a better dancer than actor. That actress has a different connection to infamy. There is a lot of good dancing in this musical, but the rest is less.
