So many actors and actresses from this movie went on to great movie and Broadway performances and great careers! Just can't imagine how many hours, weeks and months of practicing went into this great musical scene!
Absotively and posilutely, Mr. Kovac!! I still get chill bumps when I see this and I remember my first time to see this was in Dallas at the Summer Musicals on opening night. It was a giant roar from the audience at the end. How fortunate I am.
This just makes me smile from top to toe .. amazing choreography gives me goosebumps every time I watch ... to me the best dance sequence EVER .. period!!!
After all of these 33 years this movies never gets old. I was 20 years when I saw this movie, now I'm 54. This movie brings back beautiful memories from the 1980's...!
Saw the Broadway show on tour in San Francisco at a 3,500 seat theatre..liked it a lot. Then, years later, saw a professional revival at a small 99 seat theatre in L.A. and absolutely fell in love. You need the intimacy of a smaller theater to bring the stories to life, to identify with the characters. I have always been a great fan of professional dancers; they work and train so hard and are so crucial to a show's success, but so few rise to stardom.
Mikhail Baryshnikov used to sneak in the theatre, get into costume and 'slip' into the chorus line for the "One" finale - as a surprise. It was always a delight, and a total hoot for the audience.

@@gracecheri997 I'm with you there. I was an "intern" in London when this was being prepared for the west end and the cast went on strike to stop the nepotism of the producer's "girl friend" getting the gig ahead of the "alternate" - when the 'star' fell ill just before opening night - and they WON! (I was in the rehearsal band for the stand by's - My internship was as an engineer - work that out) Eight (?) months later it was the back drop to meet my newly engaged 'partner's' parents - they were BOTH West end performers - we were both technologists at a VERY Technology led university. salad days
No matter how many times I watch this it never seems to amaze me. The timing is impeccable. Kudos to the Dancers, Choreographer, Director, Producer, Musicians, Wardrobe Designer, Lighting Techs, Cameramen and most of all the man with the vision..Michael Bennett! 💖
I absolutely adored this movie. I’m so grateful that I was able to get the full experience and wasn’t distracted by comparisons. This is so much a part of my childhood.
COMPARISONS? DO YOU MEAN THE BROADWAY PRODUCTION COMPAREDTOTHE MOVIE VERSION? BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE BROADWAY SHOW THE MOVIE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE.
I saw it on stage 5 times! The first time was in Vegas, the next 4 were in LA...and I never did see how the stage filled as it does. I "knew" but never saw. It is a fantastic show - I even bought the DVD and watch it at least once a year, if not more often. Just wonderful!!
I saw it on stage 33 times, at least a half dozen with the original cast. This movie version is an insult to the stage production. The orchestral arrangements in the film are weak in comparison. And the plot adjustments to allow for a romance just derail the intent of the script. Even the poor quality videos on line of the stage production put this glossy film adaptation to shame.
After the show, I can remember a bunch of us from school in Richmond, sitting on the floor watching our friend open and read to us, all the Opening Night telegrams. I was really impressed that I had a friend in a sensational musical hit on Broadway. For the original cast this move to Broadway was the culmination of two years of their lives birthing this idea of Michael Bennett into a show at the downtown Public Theatre, run by Joe Papp, who gave them all the rehearsal space and time they needed to "put(ting) it together." What none of us expected was the dour sarcasm from our "star," exhausted after spending so much time with all these people we thought were so wondetful. Two years of your life locked in a rehearsal studio with the same people, working on one project. Even the choreography got a Bronx cheer for being so easy. Wow....that evening was a mixed-bag. But, at least Broadway now had a new show that was "fresh" and "exciting."
+Jack Mason Enviable recollection, to be sure. Can you share the way in which your friend - 2 years on - expressed that perhaps undestandable sarcasm? Surely he/she regretted it immediately.
I remember when Cats took the crown for longest running Broadway musical from A Chorus Line and the Cats cast wearing top hats sang this song as an encore after the history making performance.
Exhilarating Broadway show and Michael Bennett, an unbelievable Choreographer/Director.. 1976 won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 9 Tony' Awards, including Best Musical, and in 1984, Special Tony for becoming Broadway's longest running musical. Absolutely thrilling to experience Live !!
At the theater in August 1985,Ms Simizu ,I wonder,was dancing among them as a Chinese girl. 映画も感激しますが、舞台の迫力は録画で何度観ても再々度高揚します。ありがとう。 同年7月にLONで(故)エリザベス女王が観覧の「42番街」を同色タイの学生に囲まれ観た後に、NYCの42番街を訪れた際に出逢いました。想い出よ永遠に
I first this as a road show in Denver, with the full Broadway cast just before it debuted in NYC. Whan experience!! The movie, IMO, wasn't quite as good as the live performance. But I still love it. "One" is a number that gets stuck in my head as an earworm for DAYS!

I saw it in 1979 too! I guess that the original cast was long gone by then, but the show was still a stunner. I also saw the revival in 2008 (with Mario Lopez as the director); it was good, but not quite as exciting as the original. But as they say, you can only be new once!
Una magnífica obra musical como todas las grandes musicales, excelentes actuaciones de Michael Douglas y las niñas que aparecen en la película, es grandiosa. Saludos.
When I was a teenager, I danced in an ensemble production modeled after the Rockettes, so I know first hand how hard it is to get the entire ensemble to be totally synced in terms of kicks, steps, arms, ALL movements. It takes hours and hours and hours of practice and a bizzilion "do-overs" when just one person effs it up. It's really, really hard work and the truth is, the dance skills aren't as important as your ability to move perfectly in sync with your co-dancers...
I always thought that this play would stay on Broadway forever to introduce new dancers. I 've seen it several times and it was always a little different because of the constant cast change. Loved the fabulous eye trick with the mirrors when to are sitting horizontally in front of the stage.
I just cried watching this. Holy fuck, I miss live theatre so so much. It's been a year since I was casted in Follies. We're still waiting to be able to start rehearsing.

Just nothing like it. It makes me smile. It makes me happy. And I'm always amazed at the high kicks.
Literal chills every time they pop out of the mirror. EVERY TIME. This movie never gets old for me. ❤️
Me too...Wow
I've found this movie difficult to watch. 😢
I. Love this number & the. Entire movie and. I. am. in. Love with. CASSIE. !!!!!
Pure magic. One of the best musicals of all time.
OH MY GOD...!!!. YES HONEY...!!!!, YES....!!!.

@@unclealand other than cats,Les mis and phantom haha
I'll say......if anyone says it's not.....they DON'T KNOW DANCE!
Never gets old!
Wonderful...happy to watch this...!!!! Awesome dance steps...great kicks!

Never saw the movie, only ever saw the Sydney stage production in 1977. At Her Majesty's Theatre.
THE 80S WERE A WONDERFUL TIME FOR MUSIC.
The use of the mirror is genius. You can’t tell where the dancers end and the reflections begin
AND they did it without the cameras reflecting in the mirrors!
@@OceanKingNY which for 85 is impressive
magicamadeye 😳 The statement is mind, boggling.
Um, did anyone ever see the Broadway or even a touring company production of this show? The mirrors were used in the original too.
@@stepawayful exactly! Mirror Mirror on the wall!!

The movie version of Dance Ten Looks Three is the best. I’ve heard the Broadway cast recording and it’s not as glitzy.
I Love Chorus Line - the Music by Marvin Hamlisch, the Dancers and Choreography are Second to None! 'ONE' - The Finale is simply the Best!
I wish I could have seen this on stage really amazing!
I saw it on the stage twice. Once on the second row for my 30th birthday, and then on the third row a few weeks later. It was magical.
I saw it on stage 5 times! The first time was in Vegas, the next 4 were in LA...and I never did see how the stage filled as it does. I "knew" but never saw. It is a fantastic show - I even bought the DVD and watch it at least once a year, if not more often. Just wonderful!!

I was in NYC at the height of this fantastic show. Six weeks in Manhattan and couldn’t get a ticket !!! Depressing.
Gordon Owens I did, saw the touring company at the Hanna Theatre in Cleveland, terrific!
One of the best musicals ever on Broadway!! Deserves a revival.
👏👏👏
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie!!! Have lost count how many times I have watched it!!!
me too :)
AINT IT THE TRUTH!
At least ten times for me!!!! Saw it on Broadway in 1989 it was fabulous!

I love this musical
one of the greatest musical theatre sequences I've ever been privileged to witness
Outstanding rendering historical experience rendez-vous ! Merci beaucoup and happy new year to yu all. Emmanuel from Paris France
Happy New Year! I wish I could visit your beautiful city again. You are very blessed to be able to live there.
This is my favorite routine! And that mirror effect!!!! It’s even incredible live on B’way...chills!!
The ones who dislikes this performance was just jealous they didn't had a chance to be part of this show.
Ragu Spaghetti Sauce this was the movie, and the movie was bad, but the musical on stage was amazing.
Lol Zack would have had me arrested for trying out. I can't dance . Can't sing . And I definitely can't do ballot !!
I watched this almost every day when I was little. Where my love for musical theatre began
Same
Saw this show on Broadway in the early 1980s. Fabulous .
It’s more than a singular sensation…that’s why it’s so much fun to watch again and again!
No more express Broadway musicals than Chorus Line , beautiful forever !
I would watch the movie endlessly as a kid!!🖤🎩
I was not a kid, but I also watched it over and over again...
That part where their “reflections” follow them at 2:10 always trips me tf out
Me too!!!!
I didn’t even notice 😅🤣
i think is happens again at 2:33 but idk
Just great....we got to.love America for this.....Not for Trump or Nixon..but for Jazz and Show business
I remember when Cats took the crown for longest running Broadway musical from A Chorus Line and the Cats cast wearing top hats sang this song as an encore after the history making performance.
This remains to be one of my All Time Favourite Movie. For some reason, I always teared up at the very end. What Remarkable precision...
C'était excellent vu à sa sortie , si ce genre pouvait revenir .... d'excellents artistes... de la gaité ....du bonheur , astucieux les miroirs .
a great song and performance ...no cussing no nudity.. just fun! i guess those days are gone now.... wonder why???????????
Non trovo parole !!! gran spettacolo sincronismo eccezionale bella musica .
VERAMENTE...!!!. TUTTO....!!!, TUTTO....!!!.

Broadway magic. There is nothing better than a Broadway Musical Finale.
I wish I had seen this on Broadway. This dance sequence probably looked amazing in person.
Especially the ones this film cut!
I saw it as a little girl, it was nothing short of magical.
Precision! Sharp! Wonderful music!
Loved this movie- Saw it twice on Broadway.
Uno de los mejores cuerpos de baile. Comedia musical notable desde varias perspectivas. Un mensaje de vida apasionada ¡dorada!
A Chorus Line was everywhere in New York at that time: in commercials for I LOVE NEW YORK ADVERTISEMENT.
Espectacular... Bravo 👌!!!
It's on in London for a short run at the moment and I'm going to see it this week!! So excited to see it once more!
いつ見ても
素晴らしい
the greatest musical that ever existed. No equals !!
Yes honey!, yes...!. Thanks!.
Go see “Dear Evan Hansen” and get back to me.
This is one of the greatest all-time dance numbers.

Makes me think of my beautiful sister who died 9 years ago. Miss you so much xx
I saw the London production with my dad and two sisters when it opened in 1976. I was 16 and I'll never forget it.
