When it opened in 1975 at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre, A Chorus Line became "one singular sensation"--an instant hit that would go on to become the longest-running American musical with 6,137 performances. That number would be surpassed by Cats and Phantom of the Opera, but creator and original director/choreographer Michael Bennett’s homage to "gypsies" (chorus dancers) remains one of the most beloved stage shows ever produced.
Bennett’s plan for A Chorus Line was intriguingly simple: 17 dancers stand on a bare stage for an audition; the director reveals that he will be selecting four men and four women, but before they audition, he asks each of them to say something about themselves. The result is a series of songs that chronicle the dancers’ hopes, dreams and experiences from childhood to old age. "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love" is an ode to the tough teen years; "The Music and the Mirror" tells about a dancer whose talent exceeds the job she’s hoofing for—but who desperate needs the work; the finale is "One," a masterful number in which the entire cast of individuals in matching costumes perform an amazing ensemble piece.
As with all great shows, the success of A Chorus Line was the result of a great collaboration. It began as a workshop in which dancers working on various shows gathered to share their experiences. These sessions were turned into a book by playwright/author James Kirkwood and dancer Nicholas Dante. Music composed by Oscar-winner Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban fused the story into the musical. Bennett’s contribution would go even further: his unique choreography for the show used a system more familiar in the film world. Using jump cuts, close-ups, montages, wipes, dissolves and an innovative system of mirrors, Bennett grabbed the audience by the eyeballs and continually shifted their focus to different characters.
In 1976, A Chorus Line won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The current Broadway revival continues to draw sell-out audiences—as well as to provide its voice of inspiration to aspiring dancers everywhere.
