A Chorus Line Information

A Chorus Line, the revival of Michael Bennett's record-breaking musical about the joys and sorrows of young Broadway dancers. The original A Chorus Line ran 6,137 performances from 1975 until 1990, breaking records. A Chorus Line also brought home nine Tony Award and received a Pulitzer Prize for drama.

A Chorus Line is a tribute to dancers. The plot is based around an audition for an upcoming broadway show. Eight dancers are to be cast in A Chorus Line and the director asks each to talk about themselves. Portions of their individual life stories are revealed covering childhood through adulthood to the end of a dancer's career. A Chorus Line is a character study that touches on themes of love, homosexuality, escape from reality, and pursuing dreams. The superficial nature of casting is spoofed in A Chorus Line by the song "Dance Ten, Looks Three," better known as the "T and A" song. The final number, "One," shows how a chorus dancer leaves a part of themselves offstage to become part of something bigger, a "singular sensation." One of the other recognizable songs that evolved from A Chorus Line is "What I Did For Love."

In the midst of the individual auditions the audience becomes aware of a former relationship between the director and a talented aging dancer who is auditioning. This brings the personality of the director into greater focus as well.

A Chorus Line broke with every previous convention of broadway musical theatre and yet it was a smash success. It had no star, almost no costumes, no scenery, very little plot and no other setting. But audiences identified with A Chorus Line and its story.

A Chorus Line began as a workshop session. A group of dancers met after rehearsals for other shows to talk about their personal and professional lives. A Chorus Line was born out of those shared stories. Original director-choreographer Michael Bennett was dominant in a show's development. Playwright/novelist James Kirkwood and former dancer Nicholas Dante developed the book. Academy-award winner Marvin Hamlisch composed the music and Edward Kleban, a relative unknown, wrote the lyrics.
