More About A Chorus Line
Nicholas Dante and James Kirkwood Jr.’s A Chorus Line premiered in 1975 on Broadway, paying tribute to the talented performers backstage who step up to audition for their dreams.
A Chorus Line takes the audience behind the scenes of a Broadway audition. It follows the journey of a group of aspiring dancers who are auditioning for roles in a chorus line of a new musical. The show is structured as an audition process, with the dancers sharing their personal stories, hopes, dreams, and vulnerabilities with the director and choreographer.
Throughout the musical, the characters reveal their backgrounds, experiences, and the reasons why they have chosen a life in the theatre. The audience gets to know each character intimately, from the confident and sassy Sheila to the shy and introspective Paul. The central character, Cassie, is a former Broadway star who has returned to audition for a chorus role.
A Chorus Line features iconic songs including 'One, I Hope I Get It', 'Nothing' and the hit ballad 'What I Did For Love'.
