A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre–the chorus dancers, those valiant, overdedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who back up the star or stars and often make them look even more talented than they are. It is also a celebration of the American Musical itself.
Specifically, A Chorus Line takes the audience through the final grueling audition for a new Broadway musical. During this audition -- the length of the show -- the 16 finalists are pared down to 8 cast members. A rare departure from the usual glossy backstage musical, A Chorus Line presents a true picture of what it's like to be in the theatre, the heartbreak as well as the triumph, in song, dance, and monologue.
