Bob Fosse (19271987), the director and choreographer of Chicago and Sweet Charity, has never been more popular than he is right now. Here is the less-publicized side of his story-his surprising ascent from the world of sleazy Chicago strip joints to the glitter of Broadway. A legend's memory is preserved in this eloquent biography.

From Publishers Weekly
Former Women's Wear Daily drama critic Gottfried traces the life and career of director/choreographer Fosse (1927-1987), who rose to fame with The Pajama Game , Damn Yankees , Sweet Charity and other shows and films. Fosse's life was full of conflict--a desire (unfulfilled) to star as performer as well as director, painful personal relationships, obsession with sex and a preoccupation with death that led him to recount the details of his heart attack in the movie All That Jazz . Basing his text on interviews, Gottfried examines Fosse's numerous unsatisfactory marriages and love affairs, and his tense dealings with collaborators and colleagues, revealing much about the backstage intrigues and vicissitudes of show business, but offering little of substance about either the shows themselves or Fosse's talent.

From Library Journal
Drama critic Gottfried, author of Broadway Musicals (Abrams, 1989), brings a wealth of Broadway lore to his biography of choreographer/director Fosse, who made a lasting impact on the dancing style of Broadway musicals. Fosse was a driving perfectionist who had such mega-hits as Broadway's Sweet Charity and the movie version of Cabaret , and such colossal failures as the movie version of Sweet Charity and his last movie, Star 80 , which combines his lifelong obsessions, sex and death. Three times married, the last to Gwen Verdon with whom he had his string of Broadway hits, Fosse was a compulsive womanizer. He remains a likable character despite this and other negative traits which Gottfried does not soften. Gottfried gives a more complete psychological portrait of this contradictory man than Kevin Grubb's Razzle Dazzle ( LJ 10/1/89), which was heavily illustrated. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 8/1/90.

Review
The cardinal virtue of Mr. Gottfried's biography is his intimacy with the show-business scene that was Fosse's chrysalis. -- The New York Times Book Review, Ronald Bryden

Pure Fun
By A Customer
Maybe I'm biased: I'm a shrink. I lived in New York in the early 80's. I knew some of the people mentioned in the book. But this was the most fun I've had reading since Letters from a Nut. Full of tidbits about a raft of celebrities. Another reviewer complained about the lack of pictures. Why stop there? We need all the films, too. Must watch All That Jazz again ASAP, AND try to get my hands on Sweet Charity and Cabaret. A great ride!

Perhaps no longer THE source, but holds up well
By Allen Smalling
(This review is of the Hardcover version.) ALL HIS JAZZ: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BOB FOSSE by Martin Gottfried (1990, paperback edition 2003) was for many years the foundational biography of the legendary entertainer, choreographer and director who gave the world such entertainments as "Who's Got the Pain (When They Do the Mambo?)" from DAMN YANKEES, the Broadway blockbuster PIPPIN, the movies CABARET, ALL THAT JAZZ, STAR 80, and many other achievements; and the book still holds up well. As other biographers have done, Gottfried locates Fosse's sometimes conflicted personality and tendency to depression in his youth. He uses Fosse's earliest performing name, "Bob Riff," as a metaphor for his love/hate relationship with "razzle-dazzle" (and sometimes downright smut--young Fosse/Riff often did his taps in burlesque clubs on Chicago's North Side), while yearning for more prestige and authority, to be taken seriously as an artist. In warts-and-all fashion, Fosse's legendary womanizing and his various addictions to booze, tobacco, and amphetamines are dealt with, as well as the hard work and innovation that forged the definitive, and largely visual, "Fosse look" that is as recognizable now as it was when he died at age 60 in 1987.
It is inevitable that people will wonder which bio is now the one to read: this one from 1990, or the much more recent (2013) Fosse by Sam Wasson. While there is considerable overlap, FOSSE is about a third longer in the number of pages given over to text, the book even longer overall because it includes end notes as well. As part of that, FOSSE is able to cover more ground on the whole, although I personally would give ALL HIS JAZZ a slight edge on discussing how the films CABARET (1972) and ALL THAT JAZZ (1979) were developed. I was sad to catch a few easy mistakes in this book, though: the "beer garden" song in CABARET was called "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," not "Tomorrow the World Belongs to Me" as the book avers, and for all the loving discussion of the various "hospital fantasy" production numbers toward the end of ALL THAT JAZZ, the author manages to omit that the song sung by "Old [Girl]Friends" was the witty and allegorical "Who's Sorry Now?"
While either ALL HIS JAZZ or FOSSE will serve, a better course yet for the neophyte might be to buy or rent some of Fosse's most indelible movies as a representation of the man's style and for their sheer entertainment value, most particularly Cabaret: 40th Anniversary and All That Jazz, either of which at this point can be had fairly cheaply.

A Fine Biography of The Greatest American Choreographer That Ever Lived
By Kathleen Donaldson
Bob Fosse, in this reader's opinion, is, besides the greatest director\choreography of musicals, the greatest choreographer that ever lived. His brilliant, simplistic style has entertained millions and has shown an inpact in current pop culture.
Mr. Fosse himself was a fascinating man. A slightly short, mumbling chainsmoker, his many demons included alcohol, drugs, paranoia, sex and women. Mr. Gottfried lets us know about those demons. However, he gives interesting accounts of all of Fosse's work for stage and screen.
This book is excellent, but to truly learn about the genius that was Bob Fosse, this reader recommends Mr. Fosse's autobiographical film "All That Jazz."
