A Chorus Line

Presented by the 2023 Graduating Class of ECMT

A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of seventeen dancers, all vying for a spot in the 鈥渃horus line鈥 of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director and choreographer, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogenous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer鈥檚 individuality. From Cassie, the star who just needs the 鈥渕usic and the mirror and the chance to dance,鈥 to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister鈥檚 place in dance class, saying 鈥淚 can do that.鈥 Based on real Broadway dancers鈥 stories, as told to fellow dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett, A Chorus Line is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest.
