A CHORUS LINE

Book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante
Music by Marvin Hamlisch, Lyrics by Deward Kleban

Directed by Kristin Nemecek

SYNOPSIS: 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. 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, A Chorus Line was instantly recognized as a classic.
