A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes: the chorus danc- ers– those valiant, dedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who back up the star or stars and often make them look even more talented than they are.

A stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broad- way chorus audition, A Chorus Line explores professional Broadway per- formers’ inner lives and bittersweet ambitions. The show features one powerhouse number after another. Memorable musical numbers include “What I Did for Love, “One,” “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet,” “Th9e Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama.
