After all these decades, A CHORUS LINE retains its power, humor, and poignancy. Its stage magic and cinematic direction have never been equaled (Bennett's DREAMGIRLS did come pretty close, but nothing is A CHORUS LINE.)
The original production of A CHORUS LINE opened at the Public Theater's Newman Theatre on May 21, 1975 and transferred to Broadway's Shubert Theatre on July 25th, where it officially opened on Broadway on October 19th of that year. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Direction, Choreography, Actress, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor, Score and Book, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. It ran for nearly 15 years, closing on April 28, 1990 after 6,137 performances.
