A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line at Hollywood Bowl

Why see A Chorus Line?

Three shows only!

A Chorus Line shines a light on the ensemble; the fear, struggle and emotion that is behind every anonymous face in the crowd. Through a mixture of dramatic performance and a confessional score, dancers audition for a show, some looking for their big break, just a job, or their very last chance. Running for 15 years on Broadway, A Chorus Line is an iconic piece of American musical theatre that never fails to disappoint with it's exhilarating and inspiring celebration of what it is to really chase your dreams.

I HOPE I GET IT: THE STORY OF A CHORUS LINE

When 23 hopefuls vie for only eight places, A Chorus Line tells the story of a group of dancers auditioning to be part of a Broadway dance show. The first group is whittled down dancer by dancer, to 17 then to eight, by the jaded and fierce casting director, Zach. As each dancer step forward out of the shadows to audition, they each share their personal story honestly and openly, revealing their hopes, dreams and vulnerabilities, and why this show will change their life.

Amidst the overly confident wannabes softer characters emerge; a young woman who moved to dance as a means to escape the violence at home and a man struggles with his homosexuality. Some sweet, some sour, they all struggle for their once-in-a-lifetime chance to dance on the big stages.

A Chorus Line, touring company

This is the sixth time I've seen this play: first in New York, 1977; twice in Toronto; again in N.Y., 2007; last year at The Players in Sarasota - lacking in many respects, missing a live orchestra; and at the Van Wezel on Feb. 25. It was wonderful at the Van Wezal, as in New York and Toronto: exhilirating, electric, sexy, funny, honest, intimate, real and often very moving. Paul's very personal scene always makes me weep; At The Ballet and What We Did For Love are timeless numbers and gut rending. Cassie's mirror number was very good, although perhaps not quite as sensual as in New York; it helps to have a simple drum beat at times. The acting was excellent, the singing excellent, the dancing close to excellent. All in all, a fabulous performance and it was so obvious that every person on stage loved what they were there for. I hope it comes back because I would see it again. I guess there would be some adults as well as kids, who may be a tad offended but they'll survive ... Read more
