[Editor’s note: The following article contains mild spoilers for “Fosse/Verdon” Episode 5, “Where Am I Going?”]
While “Fosse/Verdon” is based, to some degree, on real events, the weekend depicted in Episode 5, “Where Am I Going?,” didn’t actually happen.
“The germ of that idea was that Bob [Fosse] used to throw these parties all the time in the Hamptons and they would go up after Ann [Reinking]’s matinees when she was in ‘Pippin,’ and they were filled with all these showbiz people, and it felt like that would be a lot of fun,” showrunner Steven Levenson told IndieWire.
In the episode, Bob (Sam Rockwell) and Gwen (Michelle Williams) bring their new lovers, Ron (Jake Lacy) and Ann Reinking (Margaret Qualley), for a vacation intended to cheer up the recently widowed Neil Simon (played by Nate Corddry). Despite the hangers on, “Where Am I Going?” proves instrumental to Bob and Gwen’s future; a key episode in which characters acknowledge their complicated relationships.
