About the Show
A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition. Exploring the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional Broadway performers, the show features one powerhouse number after another. Consequently, each song delves deeper into their personal journeys, revealing their struggles and triumphs.
A Chorus Line delves into the experiences of seventeen dancers. They are competing for a position in the chorus line of a Broadway show. After the initial cuts, Zach, the director and choreographer, asks each dancer to share their personal stories. Discomfort gives way to revelation and confessions lead to redemption. The audience begins to see the unique individuality of each dancer within the seemingly uniform chorus. From Cassie, a star who longs for “the music and the mirror and the chance to dance,” to Val, a small-town girl with a newly transformed body, and Mike, who stepped into dance class in place of his sister, confidently saying, “I can do that.” Inspired by real stories from Broadway dancers as told to dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett, A Chorus Line is a blend of humour, heartbreak, and refreshing honesty.
Memorable musical numbers include What I Did for Love, One, I Can Do That, At the Ballet, The Music and the Mirror, and I Hope I Get It. A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama.
