STAGES ST. LOUIS today announced that the 25th Anniversary Season broke all box office records. The season saw a significant increase in box office revenue of 4% over 2010 sales, out-grossing any season in STAGES' 25-year history. Ticket sales brought in over $1.7 million and a season average of 98.3% capacity.
STAGES ST. LOUIS reports a new leader in box office ticket sales. The 2011 season opener and Pulitzer Prize winning musical A Chorus Line is now the all-time leader exceeding last season's previous top seller Promises, Promises.
The original production of A CHORUS LINE grew out of workshops organized by director/choreographer Michael Bennett where dancers and performers discussed the various joys and hardships of a life spent pursuing the stage as an occupation. James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante pieced together these elements to form a compelling story focusing on the anxieties facing a group of dancers auditioning to be in the chorus of a Broadway show, while Marvin Hamlisch (music) and Edward Kleban put their tales to a catchy score that's still decidedly hummable. Stages St. Louis opens their 25th season with this timeless masterpiece, and it's a dazzling production filled with wonderful performances, nurtured by the excellent work of director Michael Hamilton and choreographer Kim Shriver, who neatly recreate the original magic.
The one singular sensation that exhilarated Broadway for over fifteen years, A Chorus Line opens on June 3 at STAGES ST. LOUIS. A Chorus Line continues through July 3 at the Robert G. Reim Theatre in Kirkwood.
