He states that Ann Reinking is clearly the star and she is at her best in the high point of the evening, "Benny's Number", which recreates Benny Goodman and his band using "Sing, Sing, Sing". He also mentions several other dances, such as "Dancin' Man", with the entire cast dressed in "ice-cream" suits and lavender shirts; and "Fourteen Feet", where the shoes are nailed to the floor, and the dancers proceed to move within those confines. He sums up by writing "precision and style mark the evening at its best", but they serve very little. Clive Barnes, newly moved to the New York Post, told Fosse that he thought the show was "tremendous" and "fantastic". The 2022 pre-Broadway production was praised in The San Diego Union-Tribune, which called it “a spectacular production of sight and sound. And most of all, dancin’.” Awards and nominations Original Broadway production References External links ''Dancin''' at the Internet Broadway Database PBS article Broadway musicals 1978 musicals Revues Tony Award-winning musicals
