How much influence do you actually have over the choreography or how dance is portrayed in the show?

Kelly Bishop: None. We have a wonderful choreographer, Marguerite. She’s a really interesting choreographer. I mean, she demands a lot of these dancers, but the choreography is not staid or predictable to another dancer in any way. It’s really interesting and her patterns are pretty. She’s very, very good. What I can bring to it as an actor is the knowledge of the dance and I can every once in a while, it’ll be a thing like if I’m stepping into camera and they’re doing a step that I can say to the cameramen or the director or to the choreographer, “I think it’s better if I come in when they’re doing the passé or before they do the … rather than wait until the ….” So I can talk the talk and I understand what they’re doing. I can bring that to the role, but I don’t have any say in the choreography or the staging. That’s not my department.
