Herbert Ross(1927-2001)
- Choreography
- Director
- Producer
Herbert Ross started as a dancer. While in America he broke an ankle. Leaving the theatre was unthinkable for him, so he
started doing choreography. He was 23 when his first ballet, Capriccios was performed to rave reviews in New York. Ballet Theatre
was so impressed that they included it in their repertoire and commissioned him to create additional ballets for them. He went on to
choreograph numerous Broadway shows, including On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Golden Boy, House of Flowers, I Can Get
It For You Wholesale and Funny Girl, which was the test of super stardom for him and the key to his ultimate goal of
directing.
