A Chorus Line is returning to London
What is A Chorus Line about?
Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City in 1975, the spotlight shines on a vacant Broadway stage where the fate of seventeen hopeful performers hangs in the balance. They are undergoing a rigorous final audition for a groundbreaking new Broadway musical, where only eight will secure a spot.
A Chorus Line stands as a remarkable musical creation that forever transformed the Broadway landscape. Its visionary creator, Michael Bennett, drew inspiration from candid accounts shared during late-night recording sessions with dancers.
Who are the cast and creatives of A Chorus Line?
Adam Cooper will reprise his role as Zach, and Carly Mercedes Dyer will return as Cassie in. Additional casting details will be revealed later.
Adam Cooper is most known for originating the Swan/Stranger character in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake and for his appearance in the 2000 film adaptation of Billy Elliot. His recent work includes Singin' in the Rain and The Red Shoes.
Carly Mercedes Dyer is currently starring as Faye Treadwell in the UK and Ireland tour of The Drifters Girl, her previous credits include Anything Goes at The Barbican, where she received an Olivier Award nomination.
