Herbert Ross started as a dancer but while in America he broke an ankle. Leaving the theatre was unthinkable for him so he started doing choreography. He was 23 when his first ballet, Capriccios was performed to rave reviews in New York. Ballet Theatre was so impressed that they included it in their repertoire and commissioned him to create additional ballets for them. He went on to choreograph numerous Broadway shows including On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Golden Boy, House of Flowers, I Can Get It For You Wholesale and Funny Girl which was the ultimate test of super stardom for him and the key to his ultimate goal of directing,
