Why see A Chorus Line?
A Singular sensation!
Bay Arean Musicals kicks their fifth anniversary season into gear with the razzle, dazzle and bright lights of Broadway in the ultimate musical love letter to the Great White Way.
A Chorus Line first opened at the Shubert Theater in 1975 to much critical acclaim and went on to run for a staggering 6,137 performances, a feat only surpassed over two decades later by Cats. It garnered an astounding nine Tony Awards as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama thanks to its moving, deliciously sweet and often funny portrait of the unsung heroes behind the Nathan Lanes and Bernadette Peters of our time. Direction and choreography comes from Christina Lazo, recreating Michael Bennett's iconic work and musical direction is from Jon Gallo.
What I did for love - the story of A Chorus Line
Overworked, underpaid and dedicated to their craft, chorus dancers take the spotlight in A Chorus Line's sizzling story. Taking place over the course of a rigorous audition process for an upcoming Broadway tuner, it chronicles the experiences of a group of hopeful performers as they bare their souls and life stories. There's streetwise Sheila, who discovered ballet as an escape from her unhappy home life, the tone-deaf scatterbrain Kristine, Mike - a child star turned aggressive adult dancer and Pual San Marco, a gay Puerto Rican dancer who survived an unhappy childhood, amongst others. By the time they've all shared their stories, their shared rejections, injuries, pains and heartaches suffered in pursuit of their dreams are remarkably relatable and identifiable.

It truly is a singular sensation
from beginning to the end I was enthralled by the talent being shared. The cast brought the audience on a journey of hope, fear and passion. Each cast member created a believable characters who you wanted to get the job. I"m a Londoner and see many performers and I would pay double to see this cast in the Westend. This show should be a sell.out. Get your tickets now. X ... Read more

As good as I remember it when it was on Braodway
I wasn't expecting the show to be as good as I remembered it, but it was. I even liked the smaller, more intimate stage and staging, I was able to see and hear everything better than in a large venue. Amazing dancing and singing and (except for one solo in the middle which went a little long) - not a boring minute. Highly recommend (which is saying a lot for 2 hours, no intermission!) ...
