A
CHORUS LINE
takes place at a dance audition for a Broadway musical. Asked by the
director to speak about themselves, the dancers reveal through a fusion
of drama, song and dance their unique personal journeys towards their
ambition of landing a job on the Broadway stage.

In
1975, A Chorus Line opened the eyes, ears, and hearts of not only the
Broadway community, but the world, telling its touching and embracing
stories of the Broadway “gypsy”. It brought to life the heart
and soul of anyone who has ever danced in a chorus or stepped in time
to the beat of a marching band.
This production gives me the opportunity to pass the “gift” along to yet another generation of young hopefuls who put themselves, “on the line”. After 30 years of continued success, A Chorus Line still touches us in new ways as we watch them put themselves through the “drill” to becoming one of the few to make it. As the show proves, the desire to be one of those “gypsies” will never end!
I hope that you enjoy this original 1975 recreation of A Chorus Line presented to you as Michael Bennett would have wanted you to experience it.
As a long standing member of the ACL family, I am proud to continue Michael Bennett's wish to always, “keep the truth alive”.
