...people love matthew Bourne's shows - but not as much as Matthew Bourne does. The British choreographer gleefully admits to having seen his own production of Nutcracker over 200 times this year. "I really do genuinely love watching that show, it's so entertaining," says Bourne.

Hoffman also took some inspiration from choreographer Bob Fosse, with whom he worked on 1974's Lenny. In a Confidence scene that Hoffman improvised, the King tries to choreograph the performance of strippers at his nightclub. And throughout the film, Hoffman wears librarian-style eyeglass holders, another Fosse touch. Hoffman's screen time is short but memorable...
