What: Lots of subcultures rely heavily on black clothing and might inspire you to do the same --- goths, emos, New Yorkers, . . . and Bob Fosse devotees. After this two-hour revue of the late choreographer's cooler-than-thou work, you'll be itching to swathe yourself in black from head to toe, complete with bowler.
Think you don't know Fosse? Sweet Charity, Pippin, Chicago, All That Jazz, Cabaret. That's Fosse.
Opening lyrics: "Life is just a bowl of cherries."
Some highlights: "Big Spender," "Steam Heat," "I Gotcha," "Rich Man's Frug," "Mein Herr"
How to get it: Fosse won the Tony for Best Musical in 1999. PBS aired a performance of the show as part of its Great Performances series in 2002, and that production is now available on DVD. Rent it or borrow it.
