That he had 10 women, each doing something different, but perfectly in harmony - and that taking one of them off the stage, or putting another one on, would have required different choreography to work - just impressive as hell.

Nothing, nothing, NOTHING gives me chills like Bob Fosse choreography. You know it's his in 3 seconds. It compares to nobody's!! He was the best ever!

I worked as an usherette in the 60's and watched the movie Sweet Charity over and over every night for months. Now this song oftens pops in my head usually when I'm sitting in the car waiting for someone. "The minute you walked in the joint....." This group does an amazing rendition of it.

i can see that this number is precisely choreographed to look as if they are not so choreographed and random...every time they freeze...the poses they stroke is well proportionate and they look great on stage..well-balanced...bob fosse is a genius!

Brilliant choreography and performance almost spoiled by the television director's insistence on showing off that he can cut to close ups. There is a reason Gene Kelly's performances were always filmed single-camera and full body.

So agree with you about the close-ups. It's all about the total picture with this.

I learned so much from Fosse and was privileged to be in Chicago. When I choreograph I have my own style. I like fusion and breaking convention. I do occasionally throw in some Fosse inspired stuff too

Such a brilliant song ...such a brilliant movie...and those subtle but so so sexy dance moves are fantastic! ...could never understand why Sweet Charity wasnt performed live as much as the many other musicals doing the circuit...like Caberet/ Chicago/ Rocky Horror etc ...

No se la del cigarrillo pero la del cola de caballo alta y mayor es nada menos que Ann Reinking, amante de Fosse por muchos años, ella trabajó en la película Anita la huerfanita de 1982.

@Ashluv085 11 жыл бұрын

Okay maybe i'm seeing way to deeply into this. I love this song and choreography soo much!! But tell me if this makes sense. Is the reason why they're speaking in like monotone voices and repeating words and staying still showing that these girls do this so much that it's almost like robotic to them. and their almost emotionless with their lifestyle now(thecharacters) and maybe when they do dance (on the hey big spender! part) that they're secretly frustrated. thats why they thrash around?im

@giangvo7555 4 жыл бұрын

Hey I know this comment is like 6-year old but just wanna say your understanding about this number is absolutely correct. And that’s why it’s so damn hard to perform right. The lyrics might suggest sexiness and seductiveness but these show girls are basically dead inside, therefore not only do you have to sing and dance but also act the hell out of the parts. I’ve seen performances with the performers being all smiley and cheerful and it was just soooo painful to watch.

Watch the original Big Spender scene in Sweet Charity (it's on youtube as well) and it's even made more clear that the text is completely separated from the emotion.

Fosse was one in 10 million. Broadway performing requires far more self-discipline than film acting, here's a good example of the demands on the body-voice-brain. From what I've heard, the stars that last rehearse, perform, sleep, have fun once in awhile and mostly take very good care of themselves. They have to.

that's the thing...i think we've gotten to a point where 'being sexy' is equated to the amount of skin you're exposing, and numbers like this remind us of why that is far too narrow a definition

And then to see so much crummy derivative stuff come from Fosse, not inspired by, just truly thin rip offs... This piece is amazing for all it does dramatically. Genius!
