To any A CHORUS LINE aficionado, the mere mention of Baayork Lee will conjure up vivid memories of the original Connie Wong - the youthful-looking, 4'10' Asian-American, perky dynamo who repeatedly evaded revealing her biological age to Zach, the interviewing choreographer. Now in 2016, Baayork will be choreographing and directing her most recent production of A CHORUS LINE at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Mario Lopez took to Twitter yesterday to tease a mysterious project with legendary singer Barbra Streisand.

The Hollywood Bowl's production of A Chorus Line, which plays July 29-31, will feature all-star cast, including Mario Lopez as Zach, Krysta Rodriguez as Diana Morales, Robert Fairchild as Mike Costa, Spencer Liff as Larry, Mara Davi as Maggie Winslow, J. Elaine Marcos as Connie Wong, and Jason Tam as Paul San Marco. Perhaps a lesser-known cast member is Cassie herself- Sarah Bowden.

New casting has been announced for the Hollywood Bowl's production of A Chorus Line, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical.  The additional cast members announced are Mario Lopez as Zach, Sarah Bowden as Cassie Ferguson, Krysta Rodriguez as Diana Morales, and Courtney Lopez as Kristine Ulrich.

Baayork Lee, die bei der Urauffuhrung die Rolle der Connie Wong verkorperte, bringt dieses Musical auf die Buhne des Stadttheaters Klagenfurt. Fur die Rolle der Cassie konnten wir Sarah Bowden gewinnen, als Zach ist Carsten Lepper zu sehen. Die Premiere fand vergangene Woche statt, weitere Vorstellungen laufen vorerst noch bis Ende Mai. Im Folgenden haben wir einige Fotos der Produktion:

An der Oper Wuppertal heißt es seit letzter Woche 'Buhne frei' fur die WEST SIDE STORY von Leonard Bernstein.
