Dance Great Jerome Robbins Strive To Achieve: Hard work led to his show-stopping success on Broadway.(A)
Byline: CURT SCHLEIER
Jerome Robbins knew that the proper attitude makes all the difference.
As a young Broadway dancer, he unsuccessfully auditioned for play after play. The repeated rejection drained him. But he refused to give up. In fact, his resolve stiffened.
"He simply decided to audition as if he knew he already had the job. It worked," wrote Deborah Jowitt in her new biography, "Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theater, His Dance."
So began one of the most productive careers in the history of dance and theater.
Robbins (1918-98) choreographed such critically acclaimed ballets as "Fancy Free," "Dances at a Gathering" and "The Poppa Piece." He also choreographed and/or directed Broadway masterpieces such as "On the Town," "West Side Story," "Peter Pan," "Funny Girl" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" -- and a dozen more musicals that changed the way people looked at theater.
