Synopsis:
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. It is also a celebration of the American Musical itself. 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. For everyone,
at one time or another, puts his life on the line. We all compete, no matter what business we’re
in, for promotion, for attention, for approval and for love. Specifically, A CHORUS LINE takes
the audience through the final grueling audition run by the director, Zach, for a new Broadway
musical.
