Just a minor idea I have that I’d like feedback on and this place seems like the perfect place for it.
Would anyone enjoy the concept of a Bob Fosse themed bar/club? The music/entertainment would obviously consist of live performances of the popular sounds of the shows he’s most famously associated with? Full costume and makeup for all performers.

A one-night weekly theme night at a bar is logistically feasible. A bar that is solely Bob Fosse themed? That bar would shutter less than a week later. I love Bob Fosse. I have his name tattooed on my body in 3 different places. I would never venture out to a Bob Fosse themed bar.

Sometimes, we are witnesses to greatness. This is not one of those times.

I think it could work if it wasn’t over done and was in an understated manner.
then again, that ain’t Fosse.

I'd be a fan of a Fosse-themed menu. Mexican Breakfast, anyone?

Only if the cocktails come with a side of amphetamines.

A bar based on Fosse’s closest cinematic (not theatrical) imitator/copycat might be a cute pop-up: BarJack HorsePub.

This sounds like a horrible idea to me. I would hate to see Fosse's legend reduced to a gimmick.
