Hot on the heels of the April 9 premiere of Fosse/Verdon, FX has released a teaser for the second episode for the new series that follows the onstage and off-stage story of Broadway powerhouses Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon.
Titled, “Who's Got The Pain?,” episode two dramatizes Fosse and Verdon’s first meeting during a pre-production dance rehearsal for Damn Yankees. Fresh off his Tony win for The Pajama Game, the ambitious dancer-choreographer creates a slow-burn strip tease for Verdon to perform as Lola in Broadway’s new baseball musical. Verdon, an established Broadway star and recent Tony winner for Can-Can, matches Fosse serve for serve as their relationship ignites.
Watch the teaser above.
“Who’s Got the Pain?” will air April 16 at 10 PM.
