For the Broadway, television, and film world of director Bob Fosse and his wife, the actress, dancer, and choreographer Gwen Verdon, in FX’s Fosse/Verdon, production designer Alex DiGerlando and set decorator Lydia Marks were fortunate to have their daughter Nicole Fosse as an adviser, as authenticity was paramount.
