Bennett hit it big with Follies
(1971). He choreographed and co-directed this musical about aging
performers. He won two Tony awards for the work, and some feel
that the dance for the number "Who's That Woman?" was
arguably the best number in Broadway history. That same year he
also directed the straight play Twigs. Two years later,
another Tony for choreography was awarded to Bennett for Seesaw.
And then came A
Chorus Line...
