The Barn Theatre Presents A CHORUS LINE, Opening 5/17
"A CHORUS LINE", the one "Singular Sensation" and winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, makes its Barn Theatre debut as the finale to the Barn's 85th Anniversary season!
Directed by Jay Mills, with musical direction by Jack Bender and choreography by Desirée Caro, evening performances of "A CHORUS LINE" will run May 17, 25, 31, June 1, 7 and 8 at 8pm; matinee performances run May 18, 19, 26 and June 2 at 2pm. Tickets are $24 (senior/student tickets are $22 on matinees only). To reserve tickets, call (973) 334-9320, email boxoffice@barntheatre.org or visit the Barn Theatre Box Office on Saturdays from 4-7 PM.Set during a chorus audition for a Broadway show, "A CHORUS LINE" tells of the achingly poignant ambitions, hopes, fears, and dreams of seventeen professional dance gypsies competing to land a job in the show. This compelling fusion of dance, song and drama stands as a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration and a tribute to those courageous enough to put it all on the line. It 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. Memorable musical numbers include What I Did for Love, One (Singular Sensation), I Can Do That, At the Ballet, Dance: Ten; Looks: Three, and I Hope I Get It.
