	Jerome Robbins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jerome Robbins (October 11, 1918–July 29, 1998) was an American choreographer whose work has included everything from classical ballet to contemporary musical theater.
		Robbins was born "Jerome Wilson Rabinowitz" on October 11, 1918, exactly one month before the end of World War I, in the Jewish Maternity Hospital in the heart of Manhattan’s Lower East side – a neighborhood populated by many immigrants.
		Robbins collaborated with George Abbott on The Pajama Game (1954), which launched the career of Shirley MacLaine, worked on the 1955 Mary Martin vehicle, Peter Pan (recreated for the small screen in 1955, 1956 and 1960) and directed and co-choreographed (with Bob Fosse) Bells Are Ringing (1956), starring Judy Holliday.

	Jerome Robbins, 1918-1998 by Laura Jacobs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Robbins worked a stunning opposition into the choreography: absolutely explosive displays of sexual, territorial energy, but trapped within the dynamics of popular dance (mambas, cha-chas, jazz contractions, beatnik shrugs), and so luminously constructed that you saw everything—wide shot, zoom-in, switchblade.
		What Robbins wanted was to choreograph in a situation where he had sole control of the dance.
		Robbins possessed the steps, adopted the classical etiquette, had formal facility to spare, and was superb within the framework of beginning-middle-and-end (The Cage; Afternoon of a Faun; The Concert; Ives, Songs).
