To see a body like this — a congregation of angles kinked in opposition — is to recognize Bob Fosse’s slinky specter. Fosse died in 1987, but he still haunts Broadway, where he won a record eight Tonys for choreography, plus one for direction. Kail, who directed “Hamilton,” is an executive producer on “Fosse/Verdon,” a limited series that debuts on FX April 9. Verdon, a knockout dancer and an unimprovable musical comedian who won four Tonys in six years, was no slouch. If “Fosse/Verdon” succeeds, it could inform how we now tell stories about men like Fosse.
