Fosse/Verdon - Season 1
It is a dramatic musical look that we live through that series that speaks of the most famous artistic relationship. The series begins with a realistic look at the romantic and creative partnership between influential choreographer /director Bob Foss, who has sparked more controversy. It seems that things will be very exciting when Bob Foss is having a relationship with Gwyn Verdon, one of the greatest Broadway dancers of all time.

At it's core, it is about a relationship between two supremely talented but also deeply troubled performers. And that narrative wisely explores the connections between power and sexuality, neuroses and need, work and careers, lust and love.

There's a lot of meaning packed into that brisk title. Fosse/Verdon is about a partnership, one that, over the course of three decades completely reinvented musical theatre and film.

"Fosse/Verdon" is a claustrophobic series as opposed to an epic one. What's mostly missing is the thrill of opening night, the chorus line, the music, the whole glorious space of the theater.

Fosse/Verdon never loses sight of its goal - capturing the love and frustrations of two talented people who could never let each other go.

Scenes play out as if viewers are seeing them from inside the director's head, experiencing the swings between his hyperego and his crashing insecurity... These moments are ingenious, and they bring a vibrant theatricality to the series.

As Gwen Verdon, Michelle Williams is very nearly perfect; she nails Verdon's look, her vocal affectations, her way of moving; her conflictedness and loyalty, her frustration and codependency. It's a stellar performance.

Any quibbles one might have with this season fly away when the dancing begins.

Fosse/Verdon is extremely watchable and totally fascinating. I enjoyed almost every minute...

Rockwell is fully invested in a role that challenges him well beyond the semi-caricature he played in Vice. Self-assured and brusque when calling the shots, he's otherwise an emotional adolescent, or sometimes an infant.

In "Fosse/Verdon," [Williams and Rockwell] inhabit their roles completely and convincingly.
