 Peter Gennaro, Big Talent on a Small Screen - dancer and choreographer - Brief Article - Obituary Dance Magazine - Find ...
His jaunty, strutting style, whether expressed by the handpicked Peter Gennaro Dancers or by the lithe form of the choreographer himself, was familiar in living rooms across the country, to people who couldn't see a Broadway show or even a bus-and-truck rendition of a Broadway show.
For a while there, it seemed that if the TV was tuned to a show that featured music, you were going to be seeing the Peter Gennaro Dancers and the jazzy, ebullient choreography of their boss.
Unlike Robbins, Fosse, and Michael Bennett, Gennaro never moved from choreographing the dances to directing the whole musical, and so despite his good work and the nearly universal esteem in which he was held, he never became a major force in the theater.
