FX's new series 'Fosse/Verdon' will primarily focus on the romantic and professional relationship between Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon

FX is all set to launch the highly anticipated miniseries 'Fosse/Verdon' which will tell the story of 20th century's iconic Broadway couple Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon. The duo met in 1955 and soon developed an undeniable chemistry both on stage and off. The couple formed a partnership that lasted for three decades and, on their journey, they bagged numerous awards including Tony and the Oscars. 

The limited series which premieres on April 9 will explore the complicated relationship between these two powerhouses. Sam Rockwell has taken on the leading role of Bob Fosse while Michelle Williams underwent a full makeover to portray Gwen Verdon. The show is based on their true story and takes inspiration from the biographical novel by Sam Wasson. Besides the two powerhouses, you will also meet several iconic characters that were active in the performance arts scene around the same time. 

Here's a breakdown of some of the iconic characters you will see on FX's new series.
