Uniquely Astounding Chorus Line Tour Returns to LA
by Don Grigware - Jun 2, 2010


When A Chorus Line premiered at Joe Papp's Public Theater in 1975, its bold form changed the face of the American musical. I wonder if James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante (book), Ed Kleban (lyrics) and Marvin Hamlisch (music) really knew the impact that their soon-to-be Pulitzer Prize winning drama would hold for future generations as it moved from Joe Papp's Public Theater to Broadway? It promised to be be a singularly sensational success all over the globe for decades. And - in 2010 - it still remains one of the most thrilling musicals ever.

BWW Reviews: Simplicity, Raw Emotion Allow A CHORUS LINE to Shine at Hobby Center
by Kara Pohlkamp - Jan 11, 2010


A Chorus Line is not the impressive spectacle offered by most nationally touring musicals. It has no special effects and no impressive costumes.

But it's simplicity that sets A Chorus Line apart and makes it feel genuine - and that's what makes it so powerful.
