| It seems like his go-to choreographer, Sergio Trujillo, has just as many hits and misses. His slick staging in "Jersey Boys," and his athletic choreography in "Memphis" were the only two that made an impact on me. All the rest, not so good. | |

| Trujillo did terrific work in ''Jersey Boys'' and ''Memphis,'' but didn't get nominated for either, both Tony-winning Best Musicals. (After ''Memphis'' debuted in London to raves, Trujillo won an Olivier Award for Best Theatre Choreographer.) After a decade of choreographing about 10 Broadway shows, he finally got his 1st Tony nod in 2016 for ''On Your Feet!'' This year, the Tony nominators passed over Trujillo again, this time for ''Summer.'' However, he won this year's Chita Rivera Award for Best Broadway Choreography for ''Summer'' (over Justin Peck in ''Carousel,'' etc.), and the awarding committee included Anna Kisselgoff, Robert LaFosse, Donna McKechnie and Lee Roy Reams. Maybe his interpretation of the Temptations' moves in ''Ain't Too Proud'' ultimately will allow him to dance away with a Tony. |

| The ill-fated musical, "The Mambo Kings" didn't make it to Broadway following its San Francisco try-out, but the one indelible element of that unfulfilled show was its absolutely thrilling choreography by Sergio Trujillo. I didn't see "On Your Feet!", so I don't know if that was a vehicle for his choreography equal to "Mambo Kings." If it wasn't, then I think NY theatergoers may not have yet seen how his work can soar as high and vibrantly as it did in "Mambo Kings." | |

| A couple of years ago, Sergio Trujillo choreographed CARMEN: AN AFRO CUBAN MUSICAL, under the direction of Moises Kaufman with musical direction by Arturo O'Farrill. The show ran for about a month down in Olney, Maryland - outside of Washington DC. It had a few problems but the choreography and the constant movement was inventive and thrilling. I loved it. | |
