Patti Colombo Choreographer - Can Can - The Quadrille



Here's a set of three videos that show the great work of Patti Colombo, the choregrapher for the Papermill Playhouse's production of "Can-Can" a few years ago. From what I have seen this is one of the best productions of the venerable musical and rivals Chita Rivera's touring company production of the 1980s. The dance sequences are great, and the back-of-the-hall perspective show off the full range off the on-stage action.  A fourth video will give some closer looks.

This first video is of the "Quadrille" number, which, as staged and costumed here, is almost as good from a cancan perspective as the later sequences.

The video:
