    Jazz Hams! The Fossepocalypse is finally over! (No more roving bands of cannibalistic jazz dancers. No more Death by Jazz Hands. No more Broadway Thunderdome. (Damn, that’s a thing I really want now.)) Join us as we finish talking about the 2002 revue FOSSE, which is also a review of our previous months of immersion … Continue reading The post Episode 54: Broadway Revue FOSSE, Part 2 (Fossepocalypse Bonus Round) appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 53: Broadway Revue FOSSE, Part 1 (Fossepocalypse Bonus Round)

    We’re back, Jazz Hams, with our final Fossepocalypse – the bonus round viewing of the Broadway revue FOSSE! This 1999 revue won the Tony for Best Musical that year. Originally conceived by Chet Walker (a regular dance captain for Fosse), the show toured out of town through most of 1998. The full credits are: “The … Continue reading The post Episode 53: Broadway Revue FOSSE, Part 1 (Fossepocalypse Bonus Round) appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 52: All That Jazz, Part 2 (Fossepocalypse #11.5)

    This is is, Jazz Hams. The official conclusion of the Fossepocalypse.  (There will be one bonus round after this, but the musical filmography of Mr. Bob Fosse ends here.) We discuss John Lithgow as Michael Bennet stand in, the weird head canon of Richard Dreyfuss as Joe Gideon, and the producing shenanigans pulled to get … Continue reading The post Episode 52: All That Jazz, Part 2 (Fossepocalypse #11.5) appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 51: All That Jazz, Part 1 (Fossepocalypse #11)

    The Fossepocalypse nears its ultimate denouement as we watch Fosse’s autobiographical masterpiece ALL THAT JAZZ. The movie stands on its own (boy howdy, does it) but oh the layers when you know your Fosse work and history!  The egotistical frustrations of making PIPPIN a Fosse show, the insanity of creating a Broadway show while editing … Continue reading The post Episode 51: All That Jazz, Part 1 (Fossepocalypse #11) appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 50: Chicago Part 2 (Fossepocalypse #10.5)

    Welcome back to the Fossepocalypse, Jazzhandians, with the capital city located in CHICAGO. This week’s conclusion discusses Little Mary Sunshine, Renee Zellweger as a puppet, and the showstopping Catherine Z-J. We give a lot of love to John C. Reilly as Amos (deservedly so), the slick confidence and tapping prowess of Richard Gere, and the … Continue reading The post Episode 50: Chicago Part 2 (Fossepocalypse #10.5) appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 49: Chicago (Fossepocalypse #10) Part 1

    Listen up, you jazz babies! This week’s episode is a classic of stage and screen – CHICAGO. The original cast was titanic in talent: Gwen Verdon as Roxie, Chita Rivera as Velma, and Jerry Orbach as Billy Flynn. The 1996 revival featured Bebe Neuwirth (yes, from Cheers) as Velma and Ann Reinking as Roxie (with … Continue reading The post Episode 49: Chicago (Fossepocalypse #10) Part 1 appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 48: The Little Prince (Fossepocalypse #9.5) Part 2

    Welcome, listeners, to part two of our discussion of Fosse’s last dance performance on film, THE LITTLE PRINCE. In this week’s episode, we delve into Fosse’s role and performance. Stanley Donen offered Fosse complete creative control to entice him to do the film (and it’s a testament to Donen’s sure hand at the helm that … Continue reading The post Episode 48: The Little Prince (Fossepocalypse #9.5) Part 2 appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.

    Episode 47: The Little Prince (Fossepocalypse #9) Part One

    Jazz Hams! We’re back and we’re back in the groove! (Every other week can get weirdly confusing, y’know?) The Fossepocalypse will not be stopped and so this week we bring you Bob’s last dance performance on film – THE LITTLE PRINCE. QUIZ TIME! Director Stanley Donen (yep, that guy again) knew exactly who he wanted … Continue reading The post Episode 47: The Little Prince (Fossepocalypse #9) Part One appeared first on A Reel Education: The Musical!.
