"The show is a joy every time it puts down its ax. In any case, its 16 dancers, representing a wider range by age, ethnicity, body type and gender presentation than you typically see in a Fosse cast, make a much better case for the pure dance qualities of his style than the text does."

“Fosse, Cilento, and the cast remind us how powerful dance is as a storyteller. ‘Bob Fosse's Dancin' doesn't just make old moves fresh — it makes us feel like we're discovering Fosse anew.”

“ ‘Dancin’, as revived and revised, softens that edge while remaining charged. The new lineup is intentionally more inclusive and edits some of Fosse’s inherent chauvinism. ”

“Unhappily, the first revival of Fosse’s all-dance, plotless revue ... does not represent the man at his most inspired...as exemplified by this studious but generally thrill-free revival, is a gussied-up museum piece that, even when its irrepressibly energetic dancers are flinging themselves across the stage with abandon, kicks up a little bit of dust.”

“For longtime Fosse fans, though, that raging struggle might just be the most interesting thing of all. It was for me, although I suspect the show also will please tourists looking for, well, the kind of sexy, glamorous, sensual Broadway show that mostly has disappeared despite the international audience demand.”

“For some magical, mystical reason, the dancers at the end of the show still look as fresh as daisies, despite the incredible workout they get in this jam-packed act. This is one rock-solid company of dancin’ fools. Fosse would be proud.”

“If Cilento and the cast and crew of Dancin' hope to attract a new generation to Fosse, then this show comes at a very interesting time when issues of gender and gender presentation are being hotly contested while TikTok has turned everyone into a dancer. The joy of movement, after all is universal. And even with a few missteps along the way, that joy pulses through ’Bob Fosse's Dancin'.”

“Despite an amazing troupe of dancers, you probably won't feel the need to return. That's because something is missing, and it's not just Fosse...Sadly, as a homage to a genius choreographer who forever changed the way that we look at bodies in motion, we're left thinking there's gotta be something better than this.”
