	Dance Magazine: Choreographer Stroman makes Contact With a vision in yellow - Susan Stroman
		As Stroman has been more than happy to relate after the surprise success of Contact last fall, watching this young woman emerge from a mass of fl-clad New Yorkers to accept or refuse the men offering to be her partner inspired the "dance play" that's upset all the conventional wisdom about musicals.
		Stroman, the choreographer who came out of nowhere to dazzle Broadway with her inventive routines for Crazy for You nearly ten years ago, has had trouble finding a long-running New York City showcase for her work since--unless you count A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden.
		As Stroman explains it, Andre Bishop, who runs the Lincoln Center Theater, saw Steel Pier and invited her over to his office to say that if she ever had an idea she wanted to develop, he would be happy to help.

		Stroman nurtured her own lifelong passion for the performing arts, and developed a prodigious talent that has made her the most successful director/choreographer of her generation, the heir -- or, more pointedly, heiress -- apparent to such creative forces as Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Gower Champion, Michael Bennett, and Tommy Tune.
		Oklahoma!, which Stroman choreographed in London in 1998, will open on Broadway in March, the first time the show will be presented there without Agnes de Mille's original choreography.
		Since choreographing her first Broadway show, Crazy for You (1992), Stroman has been nominated for ten Tony Awards and won five: four for choreography (Crazy for You; Show Boat, 1995; Contact, 2000; and The Producers, 2001), and one for direction (The Producers).

	Susan Stroman; Lights up a stage (Win 93) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Stroman started taking dancing lessons when she was 5, and ever since she can remember, she's been able to "visualize music." During her high school and college years, she worked in local theatres like Candlelight Dinner Theatre and Three Little Bakers.
		Stroman made her transition from dancer to choreographer in small steps, starting out choreographing and directing cabaret acts, industrial shows and commercials.
		Stroman included glitzy numbers featuring chorines in fluffy pink, a romantic waltz in which the leads fall in love and lively chorus numbers in which cast members use just about everything that's not nailed down on the set as props.

		And while choreographer/director Susan Stroman did develop the show in workshops, the concept and story line were hers, expressed through her dancers.
		Stroman's core idea makes up the second half of the program, from which the show takes its name.
		The choreography is a slick Broadway take on swing dancing forms, bringing into play as well Stroman's expert knowledge of classical ballet--the parade of men strutting their stuff, competing for the attention of the heroine, for example, or any number of the corps formations.

	Show Business Weekly: Review: Dance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		So it’s no surprise that Stroman’s first full-length evening work for New York City Ballet, "Double Feature," ingeniously inspired by silent movies and infused with Stroman’s impish brand of humor, is the mega-hit of the company’s winter season celebrating the 100th anniversary of George Balanchine’s birth.
		Although the choreography for the most part was limited, what Stroman has created suits the dancers in their well-defined roles and frees them to delve into their characters–often with hilarious results.
		Certainly Stroman was not out to compete with Balanchine, and her choreography works from a theatrical point of view in an exceptionally well-paced production.

		Trevor Nunn met Susan Stroman after she had proved herself against and within the legacy of another American dance legend, Martha Graham, when she created the ballet But Not For Me at the Library of Congress.
		Stroman wanted the dance not only to be integrated into the action (hence the lead actors also having to be lead dancers in the dream ballet) but to reflect the central theme of conflict.

		Stroman started dancing at the age of five, studying ballet, jazz and tap.
		Stroman quickly gained a reputation for quirky new slants on standards ('New York, New York' sang in different languages) and for the creative use of props on stage.

		One of Broadway's brightest lights in the new millennium, innovative choreographer Susan Stroman made a smashing entrance to the directing ranks, with the original dance drama "Contact" (which she co-created) and the revival of "The Music Man" both premiering to raves on the Great White Way in the spring of 2000.
		Stroman experienced back-to-back Broadway failures with "Big" (1996), the misfired adaptation of the popular Penny Marshall feature starring Tom Hanks, and Kander and Ebb's "Steel Pier" (1997), reuniting with Ockrent on the former and Scott Ellis on the latter.
		Stroman's fluid direction and signature choreographic touches merely enhanced the hilarity inherent in the script and songs, and the show proved to be a triumph on Broadway, earning a record 12 Tony Awards, including those for direction and choreography.
