A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line at The Muny

Why see A Chorus Line?

The journey to stardom is riddled with challenges!

The super-competitive, cut-throat world of the Broadway show is the focus of this sensational musical, which originally premiered in 1975 and won an unprecedented nine Tony Awards in 1976. Created by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Edward Kleban we follow the grueling final audition of 17 dancers who are all vying for a place on the chorus line, presided over by a demanding director who isn't afraid to put them through their paces. Personal stories, vanity and dreams come to the fore for our hopefuls; but will be be good enough to make the final cut?

What is it about?

The soulful and revealing score includes "What I Did for Love," "The Music and the Mirror," "At the Ballet" and "Dance Ten, Looks Three. " Zach, the punishing director not only wants them to dance for the job of their lives, he also demands to know more about them. Asking each of them to talk about themselves, they starts by giving their names, age, hometown and reason for being a dancer, but reluctantly expand on this to share stories about about their families, friends, lovers, ambitions and careers. One by one, they come forward.

Some are shy or reluctant, while others are more than happy to reveal their innermost thoughts. From funny to heartbreaking, these 17 dancers share with us the stories of their lives. They put themselves on the line to get a job on the line. And when they’re done, so is the audition. And the final chorus line of 8 dancers is chosen.

A Chorus Line, touring company

This is the sixth time I've seen this play: first in New York, 1977; twice in Toronto; again in N.Y., 2007; last year at The Players in Sarasota - lacking in many respects, missing a live orchestra; and at the Van Wezel on Feb. 25. It was wonderful at the Van Wezal, as in New York and Toronto: exhilirating, electric, sexy, funny, honest, intimate, real and often very moving. Paul's very personal scene always makes me weep; At The Ballet and What We Did For Love are timeless numbers and gut rending. Cassie's mirror number was very good, although perhaps not quite as sensual as in New York; it helps to have a simple drum beat at times. The acting was excellent, the singing excellent, the dancing close to excellent. All in all, a fabulous performance and it was so obvious that every person on stage loved what they were there for. I hope it comes back because I would see it again. I guess there would be some adults as well as kids, who may be a tad offended but they'll survive ... Read more
