Winner of nine 1976 Tony Awards (including "Best Musical") and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, A CHORUS LINE features music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban and a book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante. A CHORUS LINE was conceived and originally directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett.
"Every time - and I mean every time - that I hear '5,6,7,8,' my arm almost immediately pops up to do the opening sequence to A CHORUS LINE," said Artistic Director Matthew McCoy. "The songs, the masterful choreography, and the golden costumes of A CHORUS LINE are timeless icons of musical theatre. Before moving to the Bay Area, I myself was an ensemble dancer at many regional theatres in the Eastern US. I've experienced the long days of rehearsal, the grueling sessions to learn harmonies, and the rigor of understudying the leading roles. This musical is a love letter...a 'thank you' note...a shrine...to every ensemble member who has ever appeared in a Broadway chorus. Like all of us, each dancer has a unique story...and those stories are celebrated in A CHORUS LINE. I am extremely excited to revive this classic, breathing new life into it in collaboration with a cast of brilliant, young Bay Area terpsichoreans, and all under the assured helm of Christina Lazo. Our production will truly be one singular sensation."
"Heaven on Broadway, one of those hallowed occasions in theater." - The New York Times
A CHORUS LINE has a running time of approximately 2 hour and 15 minutes (including one intermission).
