Trivia
Bob Fosse tells Paddy Chayefsky that if Chayefsky dies first, he won't say a word at his funeral--just do a tap dance. Chayefsky did indeed precede Fosse in death by six years (1981 & 1987) in real life, and Fosse did in fact perform a tap dance at the funeral service.

The show is thrilling when it concentrates on the genesis of the musical Chicago.

Fosse wants something darker and realises that Gwen is just not up to it.

For Gwen this is her show, something she wanted to do for years. Unaware that age might have caught up with her.

For Fosse, he does not want to upset Gwen and he is also without his drugs.

Just how good Chicago is becomes evident when Liza Minnelli steps in to the show when Gwen falls ill.

Again the focus is lost with the jagged scenes over different time periods. I am not sure I was that interested about Fosse's low quality sperm count.
