Mr. Walker originally conceived the 1999 Tony-Award-winning musical Fosse which also garnered an Outer Critics' Circle Award and the Toronto Theater Alliance Award for Choreography. Other award nominations for Fosse include the L.A. Critics' Award and the Outer Critics' Circle Award, both for choreography and the Olivier Award for Conceiver of Best Musical.
