Playlist for Sunday, March 6, 2016: Fosse, Fosse, Fosse

 Do you see it? Right there, in fine print, on your calendar...yup, there it is. March 6th, Bob Fosse Day. Your calendar doesn't have it? Sheesh. You really ought to stay up with the times. Well, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you...

...with two hours of his stuff. This comes from a request from an avid listener, so just like Lola in Damn Yankees, that listener will get what she wants. We'll feature musicals Bob conceived of, choreographed, directed, advised on, and/or performed in. That's Redhead, How To Succeed, Pajama Game, Chicago...a cameo in The Little Prince, lots of Liza (with a Z, not an S, cuz zzzzzzzzz not....well, you get it), and of course Tom, Dick or Harry (actually Hortensio!). I only wish I could run the video clips for you, but this is radio, man, and I am unfortunately not Robert Osborne. So you're going to have to visualize the knee slides, the gloved finger snaps, the hat tilts, the Razzle Dazzle...the moves that made Fosse Fosse.
