Incredible dancing in that club
Amazing
shareI am so pleased to see someone else acknowledge how extraordinary the dancers and the choreography are in that scene. "Rich Man's Frug" is, hands down, my favorite scene in the film. Often when I watch this film, I will rewind this scene and watch it two or three times before resuming watching the rest of the film. It is a truly amazing musical sequence that is endlessly fascinating with new things to discover every time you watch it.
shareyeah
fosse is awesome
Yea, it's one of my favorites on YouTube.
Our school performed it for one of our Night On Broadway segments.
Sadly, I wasn't in that group.

Is this sort of choreography and performance now dead?
I don't like musicals, but Sweet Charity is one of my favourite films. Everything about it seems perfect. There is not one song, or dance routine where I think it was a little weak and could be improved.

Everything now is quick cut---quick cut---quick cut---quick cut. You rarely see the entire body of the dancer---just Hip! Arm! Leg! Other Leg! Hip, again!
It makes dancing so boring to watch. And ironically, you know that the very reason they do the Quick Cut-Quick Cut style is that they think that showing the entire body will bore the audiences.
If you can find Pippin - a movie was never done of it, but there is a recording of the Broadway production from the 70s, Fosse choreographed that also. There is a recent revival, but I don't know if they kept Fosse's choreography - I know they changed the entire opening number, from a very understated but visually stunning effect to a full blown circus scene (literally).
