I think RTs consensus on this is bit harsh..
"Life is a Cabaret" - lyrics that made Liza Minnelli a musical icon in the 1972 hit Cabaret and Bob Fosse, until then known mainly as a stage choreographer, one of the most renowned film directors of the 1970s. Fosse, a name known to far too few people. In the miniseries Fosse/Verdon we not only learn about Fosse's brilliant rise, but also get deep insights into his turbulent private life. First and foremost, his relationship with the dancer Gwen Verdon, his most loyal companion. The series is produced to a high standard. A setting that takes us on a nostalgic journey back in time to the late 60s, 70s and partly 80s. Ingeniously staged musical sequences that are not used inflationarily as so often in musicals, but always tell a little story and bring us closer to the soul lives of the actors. The latter, of course, would never work without emotional access. Thanks to the realisation of the outstanding cast, however, this is not the case at any point. First of all, Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams set the pace in the roles of the title characters. Two actors from whom one expects the highest art of acting. In fact, this expectation is far surpassed. Rockwell, with Bob Fosse, may not have the most challenging character. A chain-smoking workaholic who sleeps his way through the beds of showbizz and is revered for his undeniable genius. Seen many times before, but Rockwell manages to make Fosse an unexpectedly likeable character with irresistible charisma and wit. He also moves brilliantly, which clearly stands out in the dance scenes. Once again, however, Michelle Williams plays a class above as Fosse's wife Gwen Verdon. Their joint performances are absolute highlights every time anyway, but you always get the feeling that Williams is playing Rockwell up against the wall. She disappears into the role and makes the actress behind the character unrecognisable. The way she imitates Verdon's voice is a bull's eye in every octave and here too you would think Williams was a multi-award winning dancer herself. She also manages to always hoist sympathy to her side because she always stirs you up emotionally. The rest of the ensemble also perform at their best, especially Margaret Qualley as Fosse's liaison Ann Reinking. Combined with the technical fireworks, Fosse/Verdon is a show absolutely worth watching. It's worth watching for Rockwell and William's electric chemistry alone. If you have no affinity for the musical genre, you will roll your eyes in places and struggle through the episodes. However, as these are not the focus, but rather the romantic and professional partnership between the title characters, it also offers plenty of profound moments. The plot is very fast-paced and there are time jumps backwards and forwards, which can be confusing at times. This is also the only criticism that can be levelled at the series. Sometimes it doesn't know exactly where it's going and gets a little lost in its fast-paced making. It also depends a lot on whether one is interested in Bob Fosse's career. For anyone with a fascination for musicals and chaotic characters, Fosse/Verdon is a true gem.
With all the glitz, glam, and razzle-dazzle, Fosse/Verdon is a force from beginning to tragic end. With a sensational cast led by the immaculate Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams, there is no question why this award winning miniseries is a must-see.
Anchored by the savvy performances of leads Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell, Fosse/Verdon pays tribute to two Broadway legends while portraying the humane side of its famous icons.
The scripts are improving, but Michelle Williams has been stellar, throughout.
This is a phenomenal show! Michelle Williams IS Gwen Verdon and Sam Rockwell absolutely nails another precise character. So well done ALL!
LOVE this show! Michelle William IS Gwen Verdon and Sam Rockwell is great as Fosse - GREAT, GREAT show!
Rockwell and Williams perform an exquisite dance around the addiction.
If you are into soap operas by all means watch this nonsense. But if you'd like to see a well made movie about Fosse just watch All That Jazz. Very poorly conceived, even with fine actors in the leads.
