IA-Member ad.indd 1 2/15/19 5:32 PM How Spencer Liff Choreographed

In 1992, when Falsettos was done originally on Broadway, Spencer Liff was only seven. “I was already working professionally as a performer,” he told me, “in The Will Rogers Follies. But I was too young at the time to have seen Falsettos.” (March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland, which make up Falsettos, were produced by Playwrights Horizons in 1981 and 1990, and were enthusiastically received.) When James Lapine, the director of both the original production and the 2016 incarnation at By Brendan Lemon, the Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway, talked to him about being the show’s choreographer, for Lincoln Center Liff read the script and listened to recordings. “I fell for it right away,” he said. “I realized Theater I could be a fresh pair of eyes on the material.” Liff also realized that he could be part of the larger effort to bring Falsettos to a new generation. “Judging by the large numbers of young people who have been showing up during previews, I think we are succeeding. They are attracted by the social media buzz about the show, and by its performers, and all that is great.” Liff, who grew up in New York and is now based in Los Angeles, where for the past eight years he has been an Emmy-nominated resident choreographer for the TV series So You Think You Can Dance, had another reason for wanting to work on Falsettos. “I wanted to bring it to the attention of young gay men, who aren’t usually familiar with the time frame in which the show is set. I wanted them to have a reality check on what happened in the 1980s. When I watched HBO’s The Normal Heart with a group of them not long ago, they were completely shocked at what people went through then.” Liff has been involved with large-ensemble shows and TV series containing splashy dance numbers. How does choreographing Falsettos, which has a small cast and is a sing-through, not a dance-off, compare? “They are two different art forms,” he replied. “On So You Think You Can Dance, I work with the best dancers in the country so I use a different skill set.” He added: “With Falsettos, everything must revolve around the storytelling. The line between what the director does and what I do isn’t as clear as it is on something grander.”

I asked Liff to break down the creative process for “I’m was choreographed.” Liff made adjustments for the six Breaking Down,” which Trina, originally portrayed by performers who did Hedwig on Broadway and for those now Stephanie J. Block, had performed every night to rousing doing it on tour, including Lena Hall. “During the Falsettos acclaim during the show’s 2016 Broadway revival run. (It rehearsal period, I would work mornings with Lena and then is my pet theory that she tapped into the subconscious of come to Falsettos.” what the country was going through with the 2016 election. After Falsettos opened on October 27, 2018, Liff returned But I digress.) “As with all the songs,” Liff said, “our director to the West Coast and worked on A Cinderella Christmas talked Stephanie through the song’s meaning, and her acting for The Pasadena Playhouse. It was a holiday entertainment choices. Then she and I talked through the movement. With known as a panto—a staple in the UK but fairly unfamiliar an actor that skilled, I don’t give everything in specific steps, to American audiences. In April 2019, Liff also directed and as I might with a big dance number. The process is much choreographed Singin’ in the Rain, onstage at La Mirada more organic.” Theatre. But the effect on him of Falsettos will probably linger. By contrast, for his work on the recent Broadway revival “It has been done with a level of class all across the board,” of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Liff developed more exact he said. “I’m lucky to be a part of it.” steps. “I worked on that show for months, and every move
