Twitter Is Predicting Emmys After “Fosse/Verdon” Episode 3 “Me and My Baby”

Bob Fosse had trouble in the editing room, and Gwen Verdon had trouble with rehearsal. But Twitter was having no trouble expressing itself over Fosse/Verdon Episode 3, “Me and My Baby”:

Debbie Allen

Legendary entertainer Debbie Allen is getting flashbacks to working with Gwen Verdon:

Michael McClain

Michael McClain is already handicapping the Emmys:

Amy Adams watches Michelle Williams replicate Gwen Verdon’s rapturous curtain call during CAN-CAN on tonight’s episode of #FosseVerdon, takes a sip of vodka…the space she’s reserved on her shelf for an Emmy slowly fading into obscurity… — Michael McClain (@michaeldmcclain) April 24, 2019

Kevin Daly

Theater lover Kevin Daly has drawn some meta conclusions from the show so far:

So far, the lesson of #FosseVerdon is that Gwen Verdon deserved an Oscar for ‘Cabaret’ and sainthood for putting up with Bob. — Kevin Daly (@kevinddaly) April 24, 2019

Lena

Animator and YouTuber Lena was unsettled by one of the night’s most emotional moments:

God that was dark as hell, one of the most uncomfortable and disturbing scenes I've seen on a TV show in awhile. Poor Gwen. #FosseVerdonFX #FosseVerdon — Lena?️‍? (@Shin_Cromartie) April 24, 2019

Benjamin Maio Mackay

Director and performer Benjamin Maio Mackay says theater people not watching Fosse/Verdon are probably doing it wrong:

If you work in theatre and aren't watching @FosseVerdonFX then you should probably quit the arts. #FosseVerdon — Benjamin Maio Mackay (@BenjaminMM_) April 24, 2019

Greg Brian

Writer Greg Brian is looking forward to another of Fosse’s leading ladies:

So next week we'll see Fosse meet Ann Reinking when directing "Pippin." Now we're entering #FosseVerdon's most creative phase. Maybe it'll get meta and show Michael Jackson learning Fosse's moves in "The Little Prince" by Ep. 5. — Greg Brian (@Gregoriancant) April 24, 2019

Lin-Manuel Miranda

And – after hosting Natalie Walker, Julia Murney and Patti Murin (fresh from performing in Broadway’s Frozen) for this week’s watch party – our beloved Lin-Manuel Miranda promises one of his longtime collaborators will join him next week:

Next week on #FosseVerdonFX: WE GO FULL PIPPIN.

And @LacketyLac is on my couch! Thank you for watching with us tonight: thanks in advance for watching when you watch it! — Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) April 24, 2019
