Why see A Chorus Line?
A SINGULAR SENSATION comes to phoenix
Marvin Hamlisch's legendary musical A Chorus Line comes to the Phoenix Theatre this winter! The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning story follows 17 aspiring dancers and the trials and tribulations of chasing a career in show business. Pulsing with incredible dance and powerful ballads, it's a show that speaks to anyone who has thrown everything they had at achieving a dream.
Opening on Broadway in 1975, A Chorus Line was created when choreographer and director Michael Bennett joined a project that asked the dancers of the ensemble about their lives. Seeing that experiences would make a great musical, they began to create the show. Even before opening night, there was a huge buzz about this show, proved by its phenomenal success! A wonderfully fresh piece of theatre, it went on to win 8 Tony Award and A Pulitzer Prize for drama and still delights audiences worldwide to this day.

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
