- TriviaIt seems that Bob Fosse got his prescriptions filled at Genovese Drug Store. It was a drugstore chain founded in 1924 by Joseph Genovese, in Astoria, Queens and found mostly in the New York City metropolitan area. It was bought out by Eckards and later its East coast operation was spun-off to Rite-Aid.
- Quotes
Gwen Verdon: When you get home, let's have a dinner! Just you and Neil, and me and Ron, and Bobby and whatever-her-name-is-this-week.
Joan Simon: Please, don't.
Gwen Verdon: [playfully] Well, okay, fine! You're uninvited.
Joan Simon: It's lousy enough I have to coddle Neil. Please don't make me coddle you as well.
[Gwen is stunned]
Joan Simon: I'm not a child, Gwen. I know I'm never coming home.

Featured review
Glory
Glory represents a personal triumph for Bob Fosse. It is 1973 and Cabaret is a hit. His television special for Liza Minnelli is a hit and so is his Broadway show, Pippin.
Fosse wins 3 Emmys, 2 Tonys and an Oscar for Best Director. Cabaret won more Oscars than The Godfather in that year.
For Gwen the year was not so good. Her play flopped and closed quickly. She did managed to get the rights for Chicago but Fosse is not yet interested in it.
For Fosse on a high. His life is one big party. Sex drugs cigarettes pills. He also has a blank cheque to do what he wants creatively. We see him abusing his power to get sexual favours from women in his musicals. It all comes with a cost, a one big downer.
It is good to see the contrast in fortunes between Gwen and Fosse. Yet with all that the episode never grabbed me. There is a black actor rehearsing for Fosse's musical. He is playing the great Ben Vereen and not once does he make an impression. Even Fosse's celebrations become repetitive. Life in 1973 might had been one great party for him but not for this viewer watching.
