We see Bob Fosse's legacy everywhere - from Broadway to "Billy Jean" to Beyoncé's movements in the "Single Women" video tutorial. Yet regardless of Fosse'sdeep cultural relevance, no biography has ever before brought him completely alive, unveiling the person behind the bowler head wear and the swaggering gender appeal. Now acclaimed social historian Sam Wasson traces Fosse's numberless reinventions of himself over the career that could spawn The Pajama Game, Cabaret, Pippin, Chicago, All That Jazz, and other iconic works of art andearn him Tonys, Emmys, and an Oscar. Wasson traces not only Fosse's prodigious professional life but his strong connections with everyone from Liza Minnelli, FredAstaire, and Neil Simon to Shirley MacLaine, Jessica Lange, and Dustin Hoffman.Through considerable interviews with collaborators and lovers and unprecedented access to Fosse's archives, Wasson also shows the profound wounds that propelled his subject's extreme appetites - for spotlights, women, and life itself. In Fosse, Wasson's stylish, effervescent prose shows the perfect vehicle for reanimating Bob Fosse as he truly was - after hours, up close, and in vivid color.
