- 1 videocassette (VHS, NTSC) (41 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.
- Summary
- Rehearsals for the dance portions of a song and dance number, "Dreams come true," in preparation for the musical retrospective Jerome Robbins' Broadway. In this number the female character, Maribelle, fantasizes herself in romantic situations drawn from contemporary movies: in the first, she dances a tango with Rudolph Valentino; in the second, she emulates Lillian Gish as America's sweetheart; in the third, she plays a Theda Bara vamp. In the final section, all three men vie for her love. The rehearsals on this tape feature several different performers, and the sections are not performed in sequence. Jerome Robbins's voice is heard from off-camera as he directs the performers, and he occasionally appears on camera. "Dreams come true" was cut from Jerome Robbins' Broadway before its premiere in February 1989.
