A Chorus Line
Synopsis
ONE AUDITION. SEVENTEEN STORIES. ONE SINGULAR SENSATION.
As featured on The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals on BBC One, 27 January 2024.
New York City. 1975. On an empty Broadway stage, seventeen performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical. Only eight will make the cut.
A Chorus Line is a musical masterpiece that revolutionised Broadway, with creator Michael Bennett using real-life testimonies from late-night recording sessions with dancers. Celebrate the lives of theatre’s unsung heroes, as they tell searing stories of ambition, shattered hopes, and what it really costs to follow your dreams.
Directed by Nikolai Foster, with a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban, A Chorus Line features iconic songs including One, I Hope I Get It, Nothing and the hit ballad What I Did For Love.
Join us this summer for sensational choreography, heart-wrenching personal stories and musical theatre’s most unforgettable finale.
Show guidance: This production contains moderately strong language and discussions of sex. This production contains some references and language that may be unsuitable for younger children.
Running time: 1 hour 52 minutes with no interval
