Well, he created Chita's dances in West Side, so they danced together on rehearsal.

To see him in rehearsal do Anita's mambo in the Dance at the Gym was such fun.

About 3 days ago I was watching UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN. It had been years since I'd seen it and I just that there and was blown away at the choreography in that very clip that JohnBoy2 posted. That is some ass-busting choreography and Reynolds was such a joy to look at performing it. She looks like she was having the time of her life! Hell all of them looked like they were...

Peter Gennaro is one of my unsung heroes. Thank you for starting this thread. He was a one of a kind and true genius.
