The Things that 'Bob Fosse's Dancin''s Nando Morland Can't Perform Without
Christopher Ehlers READ TIME: 10 MIN.
It's been 45 years since Bob Fosse first opened "Dancin'" on Broadway, which at the time was considered a milestone event for dancers on Broadway. But despite being a huge hit that ran for four years, spawned a national tour and a London production, and earned seven Tony Award nominations, "Dancin'" hasn't been performed since due to the physical demand of the choreography.
It may have taken 45 years, but "Dancin'" is back and slicker than ever, thanks to a revival currently burning up Broadway featuring direction from Wayne Cilento, a member of the original company. Plotless but vital, "Bob Fosse's Dancin'" features the most beautiful cast on Broadway breathing new life into some of Broadway's most iconic choreography.
Nando Mordland is one of the show's standouts, and here he shares with EDGE the things he can't perform without:
Te Matcha from Le Labo
"A fellow cast member introduced me to this scent when we were in tech and now I can't go a day without it!" $220, Le Labo.
Nuun Tablets or Liquid IV
"To survive the rigor of the show I need this electrolyte boost! I put it in my water at the top of the show or chug it down after we're done."
Nuun Sport
$7.49 and up, Nuun.
Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier
$24.99, Liquid IV.
Schmidt's Rose Vanilla Deodorant

MegaFood Relax + Calm Magnesium Powder
