Editing Jerome Robbins (section)

===1970s and 1980s===
He continued to choreograph and stage productions for both the [[Joffrey Ballet]] and the [[New York City Ballet]] into the 1970s.  Robbins became ballet master of the [[New York City Ballet]] in 1972 and worked almost exclusively in classical dance throughout the next decade, pausing only to stage revivals of ''[[West Side Story]]'' (1980) and ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]'' (1981). In 1981, his [[Chamber Dance Company]] toured the People's Republic of China.

The 1980s saw an increased presence on TV as [[NBC]] aired ''[[Live From Studio 8H: An Evening of Jerome Robbins' Ballets]]'' with members of the New York City Ballet, and a retrospective of Robbins's choreography aired on [[PBS]] in a 1986 installment of ''[[Dance in America]]''. The latter led to his creating the anthology show ''[[Jerome Robbins' Broadway]]'' in 1989 which recreated the most successful production numbers from his 50-plus year career. Starring [[Jason Alexander]] as the narrator (a performance that would win Alexander a Tony), the show included stagings of cut numbers like [[Irving Berlin]]'s ''[[Mr. Monotony]]'' and well-known ones like the "Tradition" number from ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]''. He was awarded a fifth [[Tony Award]] for it.
