Synopsis:

A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre–the chorus dancers. It takes us through the final grueling audition for a new Broadway musical. Director Zach elicits a personal history from each finalist: how they got into show business, why they became dancers, and what are their hopes, fantasies and aspirations. As he calls upon them one by one, they react in every possible way, from reticence to bravado. Memories from childhood onward blend into a seamless series of musical numbers and monologues, some humorous—“Dance:Ten; Looks:Three,” some poignant—“At the Ballet,” some group reminiscences– “Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love,” and some intimate—“The Music and the Mirror.” Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, A Chorus Line became the longest running show in Broadway history.
