– ABOUT A CHORUS LINE –
17 dancers. 8 spots. 1 chance to make the line. On an empty stage, a group of hopeful performers face the audition of their lives…but the director wants more than flawless choreography. He wants to know who they are, what brought them here, and what they’ve sacrificed for the chance to dance. As the competition intensifies, hilarious, heartbreaking, and deeply personal stories emerge from behind the headshots and high kicks. Bursting with dazzling dance and iconic songs like “One,” “At the Ballet,” and “What I Did for Love,” A Chorus Line is a thrilling celebration of the people who put everything on the line for one singular sensation: a life in the theatre.
Conceived and Originally Directed and Choreographed by Michael Bennett
Book by James Kirkwood & Nicholas Dante
Music by Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics by Edward Kleban
Directed by Daniel Austin
Choreography by Tess Sturgeon
