It's all up there on the screen in this impassioned, exhilarating documentary. They want to dance for you. It's what they did for love.

I was thrilled and moved by Every Little Step, despite the abundance of bad dancing pouring out of reality television these days, because it's about the real thing, and offers marvellous insights into of the process of creating a Broadway hit.
Ruth Hessey, MovieTime, ABC Radio National

Every Little Step never rises above being a very good showbiz documentary. But it's an engaging tribute to a groundbreaking musical.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Every Little Step is a terrific documentary history lesson about how Michael Bennett rounded up a bunch of New York singing, acting dancers, interviewed them and found out what they 'did for love,' back in January of 1974.
