With a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban, A Chorus Line features iconic songs including One, I Hope I Get It, Nothing and the hit ballad What I Did For Love. The emotional stakes are heightened when Zach’s ex-lover Cassie, fresh from an attempt to make it in Hollywood, wants to audition for the chorus line.
What follows are searing stories of ambition, childhood, shattered dreams and what it means to follow your dreams onto the stage. The audition takes an unexpected turn as the director, Zach, invites the performers to open up about their lives and what brought them into theatre. On an empty Broadway stage, 17 performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical. Join us for a sensational Christmas with a brand-new Made at Curve production of the legendary Broadway musical A Chorus Line, directed by Nikolai Foster. 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 is recognized as a classic.The One Singular Sensation at Curve this Christmas ! The show features one powerhouse number after another. We all compete, no matter what business we’re in, for promotion, for attention, for approval and for love. For everyone, at one time or another, puts his life on the line.
A Chorus Line is also about competition, and competition might easily be the common denominator that grabs the audience and holds it by the collective heartstring until the final, ultimate choices are made. It is also a celebration of the American Musical itself.
A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre: the chorus dancers– those valiant, over dedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who back up the star or stars and often make them look even more talented than they are.
