Photo Flash: First Look at the Lyric Theatre's A CHORUS LINE
Meet 17 dancers in an empty theatre, on a bare stage, where casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For these dancers, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. It's what they've worked for with every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives. This is A Chorus Line, the musical for anyone who has ever had a dream and put it all on the line to make that dream come true. Winner of nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, it's one of the longest-running American Broadway musicals ever. Come experience this "singular sensation" in Atlanta Lyric Theatre's new production of A Chorus Line at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre through November 6. Tickets are on sale NOW at www.AtlantaLyric.com or by calling 404-377-9948!
A Chorus Line was conceived by legendary director and choreographer Michael Bennett as a tribute to a dancer's life. He recorded over 40 hours of conversations with Broadway gypsies (chorus dancers) to reveal the behind-the-scenes stories that drive the making of a musical. Bennett worked with playwright/novelist James Kirkwood and former dancer Nicholas Dante to create the book. Academy Award-winner Marvin Hamlisch composed the music, and Broadway newcomer Edward Kleban wrote the lyrics. Their combined work, including some great one-liners by un-credited playwright Neil Simon, results in a funny, passionate, and deeply personal glimpse into the lives and personalities of dancers. A Chorus Line contains mature content and may not be suitable for children under 12.
