"Jerome Robbins was asked to choroegraph the show. He declined but, at least according to some sources, he suggested Bob Fosse for the job. Another version of the story has Fosse’s wife, Joan McCracken, suggesting him. Robbins agreed to take co-directorial credit in exchange for “supervising” the dances, agreeing to be on hand and pitch in if Fosse did not prove up to the job. Although Robbins received no program credit for choreography, it has been rumored that he staged "There Once Was a Man" and "7 1/2 Cents."" |
