FX’s biographical miniseries “Fosse/Verdon” premieres in April, and in the meantime, the official trailer has been unveiled.
The preview shows Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell as Broadway legends Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse, respectively. It follows them from their early days of working together through five decades in the entertainment industry. Along the way, their personal and professional lives go through extreme highs and lows. The trailer shows both the beginnings of their relationship and their separation years later.
FX promises “show-stopping choreography,” and we get glimpses of it, too. Both Rockwell and Williams put on their dancing shoes for the role. Watch below.
The cast of the miniseries also includes Norbert Leo Butz, Aya Cash, Nate Corddry, Evan Handler, and Margaret Qualley.
The limited series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions, and its executive producers include Williams, Rockwell, Thomas Kail, Steven Levenson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joel Fields, and George Stelzner. Fosse and Verdon’s daughter, Nicole Fosse, serves as a creative consultant and co-executive producer. Meanwhile, Andy Blankenbuehler co-produces and serves as choreographer with Susan Misner, and Erica Key is also a producer.
“Fosse/Verdon” premieres April 9 on FX. The miniseries consists of eight episodes.
