The revival of Bob Fosse's 1978 revue, Dancin', is a show that is eager to seduce you with its skin-tight outfits, sultry postures, and come-one-come-all hedonism. The show is a series of loosely connected dance-based vignettes, all with the signature Fosse elements. The revival is intentionally more inclusive and edits some of Fosse's inherent chauvinism. The cast of Dancin' obviously relishes the challenge of pushing their bodies hard, and the show throws you back to an earlier era of Broadway, to something a little more sinewy and id-driven than your typical family-friendly movie-adaptation musical.
