Ben Vereen is widely considered one of the greatest modern showmen — a true song-and-dance force.

But behind the fame is a dance story that's never been fully told. From gospel quartets and Brooklyn dance studios to the moment Bob Fosse took a chance on him — and kept returning, again and again — this episode uncovers how Vereen's artistry was built long before the spotlight.

He stole the spotlight in Pippin, broke hearts in Jesus Christ Superstar, became a household name in Roots, and closed All That Jazz in unforgettable style.

And now, for the first time, you'll hear the dance beginnings, mentors, and turning points that shaped his rise into superstardom.
