Paddy read Bob for filth and received a dancing eulogy in return. Gwen chose touring in Chicago over a chance to get away from it all, while Nicole gave some of her dad’s vices a try. And Bob brought his life story to All That Jazz before making a final exit. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the emotional end of Fosse/Verdon:
Debbie Allen
Debbie Allen gave us this flashback to an opening night that turned out to be a pivotal part of the Fosse/Verdon finale:
In honor of tonight’s .@FosseVerdonFX Finale, me and Gwen Verdon on the Opening Night of “Sweet Charity.” I hear tonight’s episode will feature Bob Fosse’s revival of “Sweet Charity.”?✨ #fosseverdonfx pic.twitter.com/DJZMZOUshC

Kelli Barnett
And the resident Liza Minnelli of Fosse/Verdon signed off with style:
More Content from MetrosourceSeries finale of @fosseverdonfx tonight!! What an amazing ride with a truly brilliant and supportive team. I will never forget my time as #lizaminnelli and the gift that was being a part of this historic show. #musicaltheaternerd #fosseverdonfx pic.twitter.com/IEFv61lyjU

Nick Grevera
Nick heralded the night’s surprise cameo by Lin-Manuel Miranda by pointing out what a Russian nesting doll of a role it was:
@Lin_Manuel playing Roy Scheider, who is playing the character Joe Gideon, who is based off of Bob Fosse, while being directed by Sam Rockwell who is playing Bob Fosse. This god damn show. #FosseVerdonFX

John Daltonn
While John took it to an even more meta level:
In 40 years, who will play Lin-Manuel Miranda playing Roy Scheider playing Bob Fosse? #FosseVerdonFX

Lin-Manuel Miranda
Lin-Manuel gave us one last look at him in that sexy-as-hell sparkly shirt next to Sam Rockwell as Bob Fosse:

And he said goodnight with help from Nicole Fosse herself:
Last night—and these past eight weeks—have been a dream.#FosseVerdonFX

But perhaps it was this tweet that summed up the series finale best of all:
I can’t believe it’s over. One of the finest series I have ever watched on television. Bravo, Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams. (And Lin-Manuel as the star of “All That Jazz” in tonight’s episode!) #fosseverdonfx @FosseVerdonFX @FXNetworks #FosseVerdon @Lin_Manuel pic.twitter.com/AGnd0OCw5F
