Knowing how A Chorus Line even came about just makes it that much more special, to think it started with just a bunch of dancers in a room talking about their lives then their stories becoming this huge show is amazing

This specific performance is a masterpiece. And it’s done with only a piano and drums. Incredible!!

anyone else here after reading kelley bishop’s memoir?

Listening to Kelly Bishop’s audiobook right now and had to look this up. 🩰 So beautiful. 💕

I would agree that she was never really pretty in the traditional or classical sense... but she's got MOXIE to spare. And she's fit and talented and confident... and those all count for a lot more than looks.

Oh my goodness i love this song !!!¡❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have seen this show in Seattle, SF, LA. and NYC; something akin to 12 or 13 times. This number, "Music and the Mirror", and the finale always(!) knock me out. (P.S. Hated the movie.)

And here we are...almost 50 years later. THE ONE!

This get's me...every...single....time.

Such a great song performed heart wrenchingly. Gorgeous

Here is the full movie (Monte Carlo Baby 1951) - ruclips.net/video/m3rlMSUWkL0/видео.html

BRO

She's beautiful and funny

There weren’t too many dry eyes in that room and I can understand why. This song gets me every time

Es "Emily Gilmore".

I just love her rapid little gestures while combing her hair 🥺

Both Kelly Bishop and Edward Hermann won Tony awards in 1976. They were destined to play a married couple, The fabulous Gilmores.

It is late on a Saturday night and I was feeling sad and lonely during this lockdown and then I found this. Those three women created more magic with that one song and reminded me how true beauty and talent can light up the world. Thank you so much.

This is magic! Yes - theatre history! And I love the chorus line sitting behind them and the camera picking out several of them. You can see the many levels of response there. On one level they're performing their characters as they did onstage - in the background, responding with emotion; on another level they're together again for the first time in...how many years? On yet another, the fact that this show, this piece, is deeply personal to each of them in a way outsiders would never - COULD never - understand and.... well, it's magic to with them at this moment, to be with Sammy Williams when he dries the tears from his eyes. AT THE BALLET can be - has been - performed by myriads of people. But not like these people.

So breathtaking and cool how loud the applause throughout is

I am preforming this exact choreography on Friday and I am beyond excited! I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to have learned this piece and preforming it is truly an honor!!

BRAVO ❤❤❤

The best.

WOW. On an ACL binge and this is such a pleasant surprise to find. This song never fails to cause tears to well up in my eyes. This clip is no exception.

As soon as Kelly starts the entire cast is pulled in and back in the show

Nope Baldwin. Maggie is Donna Macechnies story, read her book

There was a better video than this online, does anyone know where it went?

I remember this.

ladies and gentleman, this is how acting is done. The audience was spellbound

Still takes my breath away.

Best performance they ever did of this song, you can feel the emotions :')

Greatest finale ever.

Interestingly, whenever this is played outside of the US, few applaud. Americans applaud through the entire scene. There is something to that.

All three stories were Kelly Bishop's. She won the Tony Award for her performance in the Featured Actress category.

Would that not be Michael Bennett, mustachioed, very briefly at extreme right at 00:45?

The audience went crazy!!!

Heart rending.

I saw the national touring company in Los Angeles (6 times) which was mostly made up from the original Broadway cast. (The performers in this video.) Then, a few years later, saw it again in New York. I (along with millions of others) loved this show. It's hard to believe that it's been 40 years.

This is such a beautiful, emotional song. I loved seeing the shots of the other cast members watching on and being emotionally moved. - even though they had probably seen them perform this hundreds of times before.

Stunning...awesome...perfection! What a treat to be able to see this extraordinary performance of this fantastic song (my favorite from the show as well). Thank you so much for posting!

Kay Cole..... that crescendo.... one of the great moments in theater history. What a special and rare voice.

You're watching History being made, children of the XXI Century..

It seems like he is attacking her for sharing that story with her group. I don't understand what the problem is or why it matters at all, but for some reason he gets awfully worked up about it. How ridiculous.

Wot a brilliant song. still makes me cry after 38 years.

just great, makes me cry :-)

Wow...Nuff said.

I now fully understand Ms. Bishop's line in Dirty Dancing, when she tells her husband "I think she gets this from me. It's obviously a nod to her performance in "A Chorus Line". Although it was also a jab at Jerry Orbach's long stage carrier too. Loved them both.

Powerful! I got chills!

Ps the donahue show with this group was fab watch it!!
