It’s been more than a decade since Ballet Preljocaj (pronounced prezh-oh-kahzh) made its UMS debut, but this production of Snow White, created in 2008, will be well worth the wait. Angelin Preljocaj has created a work for all 26 dancers of his contemporary ballet company, setting the Grimm brothers’ version of the fairytale to the most beautiful scores of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies. With costumes designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, this production of Snow White is sure to shake up those who have grown up with only the Disney version at their disposal. Please note: Snow White is a grown-up retelling of Grimms’ fairy tale. Due to brief nudity and mature themes, it is not appropriate for young audiences.

aboUt the aUthors
John kander and fred ebb (Music; Book/Lyrics) The collaboration of John Kander (b.1927) and Fred Ebb (b.1928 – d. 2004) over four decades created what many would consider Broadway standards and contemporary classics: Flora the Red Menace, Cabaret (Tony Award), The Happy Time, Zorba, 70 Girls 70, Chicago, The Act, Woman of the Year (Tony Award, Best Score), The Rink, Kiss of the Spider Woman (Tony Award, Best Score), and Steel Pier. Their collaboration also transferred itself to movies and television as they wrote original
material for the Academy Awards, Liza with a Z (Emmy Award), HBO’s Liza Minelli’s Stepping Out (Emmy Award), Funny Lady (Oscar nominated for “How Lucky Can You Get”), Lucky Lady, New York, New York, Stepping Out and Chicago (Oscar nominated for Best Song). In the mid 80’s the song “New York New York” became the official anthem of New York City. At the time of the unfortunate death of Mr. Ebb, Kander and Ebb had several projects in different stages of completion waiting in the wings: The Visit, All About Us, Curtains, Minstrel Show, and The Scottsboro Boys. Life goes on.
bob fosse (Co-Author, Original Director and Choreographer) A director, choreographer, dancer, and actor for films and stage, Fosse was especially famous for his innovative and spectacular staging, with the emphasis on exhilarating dance sequences. Bob Fosse began his career in Chicago where he studied ballet, tap, and acrobatic dance from an early age. While still a teenager, he performed with a partner as the Riff Brothers in vaudeville and burlesque theatres. After graduating from high school in 1945, he spent two years in the U.S. Navy before moving to New York and studying acting at the American
Theatre Wing. He then toured in the chorus of various productions before making his Broadway debut in the musical revue Dance Me a Song. As a dancer, he performed in two long-running musicals, Call Me Mister and Make Mine Manhattan, followed by such Hollywood films as Give a Girl a Break and Kiss Me Kate. As a choreographer, his first show-stopping number was “Steam Heat” from The Pajama Game. This he followed with such hits as Damn Yankees, Bells Are Ringing, New Girl in Town, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He began his career as a director and choreographer with Redhead, Little Me, Sweet Charity, and Chicago. He also staged the innovative musical smash Pippin, the highly successful dance revue Dancin’, and the 1986 musical Big Deal. For the screen, Fosse directed the films Sweet Charity with Shirley MacLaine, All That Jazz, Lenny, Star 80, and Cabaret with Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey. In 1973, Bob Fosse had the distinction of winning the three highest awards in three different media. He won a Tony Award for the musical Pippin, an Oscar for the film Cabaret, and an Emmy Award for the television special Liza with a Z. In 1960, he married his third wife, Gwen Verdon. From that union came his only child, a daughter, Nicole. During the Washington D.C. run of one of his most successful shows, Sweet Charity, he died of a heart attack. This occurred shortly before the curtain went up on the night of September 23, 1987.
