There's a reason why Onna White is one of only 3 choreographers to ever receive an Oscar –
Since there's no O
scar for choreography, the academy had to vote to give her a special award for her work on "Oliver!", as they've done in only 2 other cases (Gene Kelly for An American in Paris and Jerome Robbins for West Side).
And I agree it is baffling that more critics aren't more familiar with both the original stage show – one of the most-produced shows ever, along with being probably the single biggest European stage musical to sucessfully cross the Atlantic until Phantom and Les Miz – and the movie – one of only 10 musicals to ever win Best Picture (and only 5 of which were based on pre-existing Broadway shows). |
