> [@twickster](#): > > **All That Jazz** > > [sub]“It’s showtime!”[/sub] I’ve been avoiding using Ben Vereen, since I can’t really think of any other films he’s in. But I don’t recall anyone else who was in this. I’ve watched the beginning a few times but never really stuck with it. Just seems a very “70s” film (was it filmed then?) ---

One of my absolute favorite movies of all time. You could have gone for Jessica Lange (who played the Angel of Death) or John Lithgow (who played the guy Ann Reinking left Roy Scheider for), but Ben Vereen was fine. After all, he was in **Funny Lady**. [sub]Yo, **Maureen**! Get yer ass in here!
