What other musicals would've you liked Fosse to do,if he were alive now?


Putting aside what Fosse would've made of a TV show like Glee, if he lived
in present day, what other film musical/s (based on anything in either fiction
and/or in nonfiction) would you love to have seen him do, if he was alive
today.

Well, ever since that Simpson's episode, I've always wanted to see a "Planet of the Apes" musical come to life.

I have to vote for the obvious - Chicago.

The first number is pretty much his remake of the opening number of "A Chorus Line." It would have been interesting to see him take on the entire show but he claims he was never asked to do it. Vicki Frederick said that Fosse used his real life anger in one of the scenes in particular. He was always upset when people would come up to him and tell him how much they loved his show "A Chorus Line." Remember the scene with John Lithgow?

"A Chorus Line" was very much Michael Bennett's baby. And the Lithgow character was
based on Hal Prince not Bennett.
