this just goes to show how powerful chorus members can be. As a director once told me, "there are no such things as a small roll, every one is important to the story line. Each character has their own story line"
I love how everyone is smiling at each other while someone is signing. They're all so supportive of each other! (Especially when Thayne is smiling at Carleigh)
One day, another musical will be commerating the anniversary and milestone of Hamilton and we'll all be older and gray and sobbing and trying to explain to our children and grandchildren the magnitude and history we experienced with this show. *Weeps bitterly*
HelloGudbye93 you won't care this much about Hamilton in 80 years. and even if you did ur kids and grandkids won't care enough to listen to u cry about a 80 year old show.
My great-grandfather produced the original Broadway show of A Chorus Line. I just showed this to my grandma and she is so emotional about it. It's great that the show is still getting such recognition :-)
Wait, we can make holidays out of musicals? We can do that? That's seriously a thing? Do we have a Wicked Day? A Les Miserables Day? A Phantom of the Opera Day? THESE NEED TO HAPPEN, PEOPLE!!!!
_"There's no such thing as small roles. There are only small actors. If you only have one line, OWN THAT LINE."_ _My drama class always says this!_ _Fun anecdote, I played as a boy named Edmond in a One Act called "Bad Auditions". He was the last audition and had a total of, I think, six lines bundled into a lot of body movement because he had come for a modern dance audition, not the Romeo and Juliet play. My second to last line was, "(look at casting director) If I say monologue and do a modern dance piece, will you be mad?" I took the line and I mixed it in with the way I had built my character to be; suave voice, dramatic movements, and slightly poetic. So I nudged my line at the last rehearsal. I said in a light jazzy accent, "(look at casting director) If I 'say' monologue... and do a modern dance piece.... Will you be mad (glance over at casting assistant) Will he be mad? (look back at casting director) Will you be mad?" Everyone in the room cracked up laughing at that single line and it was an amazing feeling to be able to do that. To make that line my own and know that people enjoyed it. I actually got an award for that line at our banquet two weeks later. It was nice._ _Own your lines! Don't make your line into a paragraph, but make your line and your character something that fills you with the satisfaction of knowing that you did your job! You entertained!

My friend did a similar thing. I don't remember the play, but his father was there that night, and there was an appropriate moment for him to look out into the audience and say "I love you dad" and I damn near cried
'I'm sure Betsy Struxness, as the cast member who had performed most on Broadmore out of the ensemble at this point, wasn't remotely bothered. Especially as this was filmed long before Hamilton became 'Hamilton' winning awards everywhere.
That reminded me of when i was playing flute and had a sol9 and the saxophone behind me "missed theor line" THEY HAD ONE JOB! ONE! And they messed it up XD
Look at the way the Hamilton principles look at the ensemble members as they sing. You can see that they have so much love and respect for them. This video is amazing!
Ariana Debose, who was in the chorus of Hamilton and played "The Bullet," killed it in Schmigadoon and will be Anita in the new West Side Story movie. There is a ton of talent on that stage.
SHE PLAYED THE BULLET!? WOAHHHH She’s so cool! I saw this video before West Side Story, and am back after it popped up on my recommended, and now having watched West Side Story, I AM SHOOK. How did I not know she was in Hamilton!!!
ok what made me laugh so much you just see everyone flipping their pictures and then you see that snippet of anthony doing it the wrong way and having to flip it again
I love that Lin got so excited when he said Priscilla Lopez's name. She was in In the Heights. I saw ITH 4 times and PL was in it every time. what a work horse. loved her
i saw hamilton earlier this year and thought samuel seabury sounded and looked quite a bit like the original then i saw this video and i was like oh thayne jasperson i wonder if he was at my show pulled out the playbill and wow he’s been playing samuel seabury for 4 years
Just saw Hamilton for the first time this week in Chicago (the cast sang "Go Cubs Go" as the curtain call). I'm in my sixties, and I also saw a Chorus Line as a young newlywed in the seventies. It is heartwarming to me how, as different as these two shows are, they recognize how they each shattered conventions in their own ways, but can still honor and cherish the musical traditions that came before them (remember that the pivotal piece the gypsies were trying out for was a spot in a chorus line backing up an old fashioned Merman-style show). The stars of A Chorus Line put as much energy and glitz into their closing number, "One", as the young stars of Hamilton put sweetness and tenderness into their rendition of "What I Did for Love". I wish all professions could bring the same innovation and energy into their work product, while recognizing and honoring the traditions of those who shaped the craft before them.
Hamilton is a piece of art. One day, we will tell our children about this musical. This amazing thing will have a piece in our hearts for as long as we live. As the generations go on, we’ll tell their story.
There could not possibly be a more "theater" moment than this. I cry every time I watch it. Those people, actors and audience, will never forget this night!
When I was in college I was obsessed with A Chorus Line, listening to the soundtrack every single day. Then 15 years later I did the same with Hamilton.
This is the most moving performance I've seen...Hamilton Cast singing a tribute to "A Chorus Line." "A Chorus Line" debuted on Broadway when I was 17...and inspired me and changed my life forever.
3:25 HOW DOES SHE BREATHE HOW DOES SHE SING THAT WAY HOW DOES SHE DO IT WHEN LITERALLY AT LEAST 90% OF THE MAIN CAST MEMBERS HAVE THEIR EYES ON HER ASGSJDKJAKAJDJSJ *I’d give anything to be on her spot really*
I don't know why this production brought me to tears. In 4 days and 3 years ago I buried my boyfriend of 33 1/2 years. He passed from a stroke. I love you Otis.
I love that they did this, especially when Lin announced Priscilla Lopez. You can hear the pride in his voice of knowing her from when they were in "In the Heights" together.
2055 A brand-new show singing Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story? And Lin being 75 years old, Daveed being 73, Anthony being 64, Oak being 68, Leslie being 74, Renée being 84, Phillipa being 65, Jamine being 66, Thayne being 75, Jonathan being 70, Christopher being 80, and Jon being 72- AND ME BEING 51 :')
Not only is this beautiful because of the singing, but it also shows those who are usually forgotten in musicals: The chorus. They do as much as the leading actors but they don't get as much credit as they deserve.
+Scott Smaistrla congrats; i've seen it twice once @ the public theater and then on Broadway. You guys will be in for an experience of a lifetime. I recommend listening to the cast album (free on spotify) prior to get the full outline of the book.
Anyone else looking at this in 2020 and being like "Oh shit it's been that long??" when looking at when this was uploaded because damn it doesn't feel like that long. 4 years. Yikes.
Oh gosh! This was magical! I saw "A Chorus Line" in San Francisco when it toured back in the day. I bought the sheet music and learned every word. I had an album, or maybe it was a cassette, or both. I wanted to be an actress. I wanted to move to New York. I gave up the former, but not the latter. So this made me cry. New York and Broadway are even more magical than this California girl had imagined. What a lovely tribute by the cast of "Hamilton"; a beautiful blend of generations and art.
this just goes to show how powerful chorus members can be. As a director once told me, "there are no such things as a small roll, every one is important to the story line. Each character has their own story line"
+breanna kempf But if you got to pick the part you played... you'd pick a lead XD
+Christophe Jelinski Actually there are several musicals where I would die to be in the ensemble rather than a lead :P
Same. All of the Hamilton leads are dream jobs, but to be in the ensemble would be just as good.
wrong
once I was a tree in into the woods
we didn't even need trees
jennyeet sometimes directors say things and don't mean them. But still, if you were not in the show, the show would not be the same.
I absolutely love that all the solo lines were sung by members of Hamilton's chorus. Genius move.
Jaime Mastromonica I accidentally disliked your comment and had a panick attack because j didn't want you to feel bad
I love that they gave them a moment to shine!
And Jon Rua was MY Hamilton.
that was really cool how the Ensemble did the chorus =)
crazy how that is the chorus members bc they are talented in their own right.
Jonathan Groff nodding in approval at Betsy's solo made my heart extra happy.
I know! Betsy is bae.
Katie Badger ikr
Katie Badger and Leslie's little smirk oh my
Who is Betsy, like what does she do in the play
Do Re Mi So Cute! she's part of the ensemble.
I love how everyone is smiling at each other while someone is signing. They're all so supportive of each other!
(Especially when Thayne is smiling at Carleigh)
When the Hamilton cast is performing
And Philipa smiling aww she's always so sweet
+Tina Belcher yeah I love her
innam y y
she is so precious omg there's a moment where is clearly emotional and smiles so wide.
I love how they chose to make members of the ensemble sing the song. Such a beautiful wink
That's why it's called a chorus line ;)
Chorus line focused on chorus people not the people who play the big roles
And it took me half the video to figure out that was what was happening.
One day, another musical will be commerating the anniversary and milestone of Hamilton and we'll all be older and gray and sobbing and trying to explain to our children and grandchildren the magnitude and history we experienced with this show. *Weeps bitterly*
HelloGudbye93 you won't care this much about Hamilton in 80 years.
and even if you did ur kids and grandkids won't care enough to listen to u cry about a 80 year old show.
that sounds like a challenge
jennyeet boy Hamilton died in the 1800's and I still cry
Ali Anderson yeah but u wernt alive then, its not like you were cryin over him before the musical came out lol
HelloGudbye93 amen!
Jonathan Groffs facial expressions while the girl with the blonde hair (next to Lin) were PRICELESS
wedding Vanessa and Lin Manuel
Natalie Schweitzer her names Betsy ❤️
He was breathing with her...
Betsy
He’s like “I low key want to be you right now standing next to Lin.... but you’re good.”
I love Lin "go get in your line, you're gonna miss your line"
Also this whole thing is just beautiful
Grace Gomes he didn't want them to throw away their shot
Absolutely Thoughtless *knee slap*
I love that Kelly Bishop and Leslie Odom Jr. were talking to each other in that instant. Gilmore Girls forever!
My great-grandfather produced the original Broadway show of A Chorus Line. I just showed this to my grandma and she is so emotional about it. It's great that the show is still getting such recognition :-)
Madison that's so great!!
OMG really?
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thats so cool!!!
Madison what was his name?
If I were Betsy, I would not have been able to sing because Lin and Leslie were standing right next to me. ;-;
Ashflight sorry I'm new here who does betsy play
Marieisafangirl She is part of the company, which means she's a background singer. :)
Ashflight thanks so much I just don't know the names of all the actors and what characters they play yet
Ashflight she's got the best spot
She would have been working with them for a while. They'd be besties.
This is one of the most beautiful videos on the internet
So true!
ikr. they all clearly value and respect each other so much. :D
Yes, made me joyful
Yes ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed!
The way Thayne looks at Carleigh when she's singing
the way thAYNE TAKES HER HAND
get someone who looks at you how thayne looks at carleigh
Thayne is a princess so
+PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES get someone who is as passionate as paying their taxes as you
+Mercedes Foster yes
Wait, we can make holidays out of musicals? We can do that? That's seriously a thing? Do we have a Wicked Day? A Les Miserables Day? A Phantom of the Opera Day? THESE NEED TO HAPPEN, PEOPLE!!!!
LES MISERABLES DAY!!!! I'M ALL OVER THAT!!!!! XD
Yes.
We need to figure out a day.
+Camille Jones Oui.
The musical first premiered on September 24, but the June Rebellion happened on June 5 and 6
+Camille Jones yeah.. Hmmm.. Which one...
I commend Lin-Manuel for honoring Broadway.

That sounds amazing! Congrats on putting a totally unique spin on that line like you did! 👏👏👏
Awesome story!
The line: And Peggy!
My friend did a similar thing. I don't remember the play, but his father was there that night, and there was an appropriate moment for him to look out into the audience and say "I love you dad" and I damn near cried
Imagine standing between Lin and Leslie and having them stare right at you while you sing
i would melt 😭
So. Much. Pressure
'I'm sure Betsy Struxness, as the cast member who had performed most on Broadmore out of the ensemble at this point, wasn't remotely bothered. Especially as this was filmed long before Hamilton became 'Hamilton' winning awards everywhere.
i would faint
I would have a heart attack
Someone acknowledge Jonathan Groff's adorable head nod please. 3:42
you just did (:
She was kinda flat though
I can hear the "YES GURL! YOU GO GURL!"
The best thing about this is Lin running around saying "Get in your line, your gonna miss your line" haha XD
That reminded me of when i was playing flute and had a sol9 and the saxophone behind me "missed theor line" THEY HAD ONE JOB! ONE! And they messed it up XD
THE WHOLE HAMILTON CAST ARE CINNAMON ROLLS 😍😍😂❤️
You mean "LINnamon" rolls!
Like what does that mean? I'm so confused
"precious cinnamon rolls too good for this world"
@@clairekalia634 Linnamon roll is specifically for Lin Manuel Miranda cause his name is Lin. Cinnamon roll is for basically anyone who’s wholesome
WAIT THE oRiGINal CasT?!
Yes the original cast
When I listen to Hamilton in school, I am Groffsauce when he's watching Betsy Struxness sing.
that johnathan groff high note
TALIA CRUMRINE ahh where is it?? ):: i can't find it
SunniDae hi. i’m 3 years late. it’s at 4:54 you can distinctly hear his voice above the rest.
That man has pipes
The way that thayne looked at carleigh when she was siging!
Angelica Schuyler I missed u sis! It’s the pegster!
5:00 Somewhere are 5 minutes he holds her hand so smoothly
Look at the way the Hamilton principles look at the ensemble members as they sing. You can see that they have so much love and respect for them. This video is amazing!
THEY ALL LOVE EACHOTHER SO MUCH
THIS CAST IS MY FAVE
IM CRYING RIGHT NOW LIKE THERE ARE GIANT DROPLETS OF SALTY WATER COMING OUT OF MY EYEBALLS
Best comment ever
Ariana Debose, who was in the chorus of Hamilton and played "The Bullet," killed it in Schmigadoon and will be Anita in the new West Side Story movie. There is a ton of talent on that stage.
i love ariana, shes so underated and it makes me sad because shes so amazing
SHE PLAYED THE BULLET!? WOAHHHH She’s so cool! I saw this video before West Side Story, and am back after it popped up on my recommended, and now having watched West Side Story, I AM SHOOK. How did I not know she was in Hamilton!!!
@@gumballgun underated? She's won an Oscar
@@stephenking9114 she did??? i had no idea!! i guess my comment is a little outdated then lmao
And she's going to be a Disney Princess.
Thayne's voice. It's a amazing.
true
He's adorable. I love how Carleigh is trying not to laugh.
YES
Thayne x carleigh otp
I didn't know the grandmother in Gilmore Girls was in the original cast of A Chorus Line!! That's awesome!
connie rahim Kelly Bishop
She won the tony for it to.
Sheila- what a part! What an actress. She was magnificent.
whaaaaaat ohhh my gosh I has to rewind and try to find her!
I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE THE SAME PERSON!! THIS IS AMAZING!! :D
ok what made me laugh so much you just see everyone flipping their pictures and then you see that snippet of anthony doing it the wrong way and having to flip it again
Lara Pena he really is a cinnamon roll, ya know!
Does anyone else notice the 'Hamilton' added but on the piano at 3:10?
Omg
YES! For a moment a feel like it was in my mind xD
Yeah I noticed that
Joseph Binmore I though I had imagined it!
I thought I was the only one😂😂 and I thought I was just imagining things cuz I listen to Hamilton too much😂😂😂
When Betsy is signing, I can't stop looking at Jonathan.😍
A Chorus Line was the first musical i ever really loved, and hamilton is, well, HAMILTON so this is really emotional for me.
Omg me tooooooo!
I was lucky enough to see both original casts of A Chorus Line and Hamilton and can't stop crying over this video. Thanks for incredible memories.
5:29 tho when Renee and Chris are literally jumping for joy XD
I would too❤❤❤❤
Well if that doesn't just capture the spirit of A Chorus Line
6:30 Hahaha Lin in the background, desperately trying to get people stand where they're supposed to stand
3:21 Owwwww Phillipa's face! She looks like a proud mom
Hey! Your pfp! I forgot what that was called.......
@@arandomgirl306 Amélie?
@@giovanna4540 yeah I saw her interview for that.....
can't stop staring at jonathan and phillipa's proud and loving expressions as their cast
mates sing...
d'aw at 4:58 when the castmember on the right grabs the hand of the woman next to him :)
OMG Yes!
that's thayne and carleigh. my honorary parents
it's so sweet
And then later he grabs Javi's hand. :)
Omg thayne u sly sweet-heart
I love that all of the solos were sung by chorus members. Lin is a genius.
The short haired blonde girl always grabs my attention shes very pretty
Celestial Stick That's Betsy :)
Ikr, she's so cool
For real, though, I kind of ship Carleigh and Thayne.
Same
S A M E I LOVE THEM
sorry...but when i read 'for real though' in your comment I started singing 96000...lol I'll refrain from starting a lyric chain...
Moira McGuan and not breaking your neck for respect or a paycheck (I think that's it)
I ship Thyane Jasperson and Jon Rua and them Ariana Debose and carleigh but that's just my opinion
Who's watching in 2020? In isolation? Waiting for Hamilton to go out on Disney Plus?
AHHHHHHHHH IT’S TODAY!!! 😱🤩😍🥰🤯⭐️
😭😭😭😭😭
I love that Lin got so excited when he said Priscilla Lopez's name. She was in In the Heights. I saw ITH 4 times and PL was in it every time. what a work horse. loved her
Not to mention that, like Lin, she's Puerto Rican.
6:31 Kelly is trying to hug Leslie and Lin and Leslie are trying to get her in the line. Oh dear I love Kelly so much.
3:35
So, no one’s gonna talk about that little smile on Burr' face
He’s a lil cinnamon roll
Leslie*
You’re talking about it
groffsauce reacting to Betsy is me @ the entire original Broadway cast of hamilton
I feel like nobody appreciates the ensemble members individually? Like hear *THEM* sing by themselves! I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! 💝
…but what if Anthony sang what I did for love as Laurens/Phillip
brb gonna go jump off a bridge now
also to jasmine!
***** sniff sniff
harambe
AshleyChocolate no
When Betsy starts singing....you see Leslie trying not to smile, but ends up smiling anyway....it's very cute...the whole cast is too precious.
1:54 Oh my gosh, how Thayne looks at Carleigh... He's so touched by her performance. And then the way they hold hands at 5:00.. I SHIP IT SO HARD! 😍
get yourself someone who looks at you the way Thayne looks at Carleigh
They are both so adorable!!! And at 5:00 when he grabs her hand 🥰
I love the way Lin-Manuel looks at everyone...that sounds so creepy, but all my lonely fangirl friends agree with me😂
Cailin Mae His eyes literally smile tho I love it
Cailin Mae I feel ya girl😂
Renee at 2:28...at the line "look my eyes are dry" and hers definitely are not
Ellie Lancaster That is not Renee!1!1!1!1
The Biking Police look at Renee when that girl is singing :)
UneBellePatience that's not renee tho....that's jazzy
Ellie Lancaster it is renee
You can see her drying her eyes awwww
just...look at renee though...honey...
6:00 look at how happy the old guys are seeing each other again after watching another young cast singing their songs...
i saw hamilton earlier this year and thought samuel seabury sounded and looked quite a bit like the original
then i saw this video and i was like oh thayne jasperson i wonder if he was at my show
pulled out the playbill and wow he’s been playing samuel seabury for 4 years
as of 2024: Thayne is the only OBC left
@@BurrShotHam711Jenna HE'S STILL DOING IT??

why did i cry at this part- 4:26 its just everyone singing and pippa's face is like- it kills me.
IKR 😭 Pippaaaaaa
I love how Phillipa looks at everyone very proud as if they were her childrens💜
Phillipa's face at 4:30 gives me hope.
And you can see her shoulders move down as she sighs
Thayne and Carleigh 💖 slick af for that hand grab at 5:00 👀
Hamilton is a piece of art. One day, we will tell our children about this musical. This amazing thing will have a piece in our hearts for as long as we live.
As the generations go on, we’ll tell their story.
When I heard "it's all about the moment" I'm like SCRATCH THAT this is not a moment it's the movement
Gloria Huang where are the hungriest fangirls with something to prove went?😂
What I Did For Love is one of the top five Broadway songs. I love how the chorus sang the song.
They all look at each other with a proud look, it's beautiful
Dude, my cousin played the first Maggie in A Chorus Line, and lemme just say, I lived this musical...this is a beautiful tribute
There could not possibly be a more "theater" moment than this. I cry every time I watch it. Those people, actors and audience, will never forget this night!
Phillipa smiling at Sasha was so sweet 🥲
Thayne's face when Carleigh sings
I love Hamilton so much I am obsessed with Hamilton
Same
Pippa's face when Sasha is singing is adorable
actuallly i changed my mind they're all adorable from 0:00 to 9:17
Yeah, Betsy and Carleigh have pretty voices, but why isn't anyone talking about Ariana Debose's beautiful voice?! (2:26)
Yeah her voice is beautiful!
Lin Manuel for president!
+sean Dobson I respect him too much to throw him into that fray.
The Boba Turtle He did! 😀
toast in the wired interview
He’d rather eat poster board
He doesn’t want to be president, he would rather eat a piece of cardboard.
Lin tryna be a host is like me tryna control my friends lol
Ikr! Youre like ok can you please li- CRAP WE GTG TO CLASS GO THIS W- EHERE ARE YPU GOING UR GONNA MISS UR CLASS!
I love that they kept the spirit of A Chorus Line by having the ensemble sing the solos rather than the stars.
Is anyone going to talk about the head turn at 3:00?
Omg, they were so in sync, it’s actually scary
When I was in college I was obsessed with A Chorus Line, listening to the soundtrack every single day. Then 15 years later I did the same with Hamilton.
3:11 *that smooth hamilton insert there*.
Alexander Ham- I mean Lin is such a cutie
This is the most moving performance I've seen...Hamilton Cast singing a tribute to "A Chorus Line." "A Chorus Line" debuted on Broadway when I was 17...and inspired me and changed my life forever.

@talk less, smile more XD
I don't know why this production brought me to tears. In 4 days and 3 years ago I buried my boyfriend of 33 1/2 years. He passed from a stroke. I love you Otis.
To have been in the audience member, I would've been balling my eyes out ... I'm crying and filled with emotion just watching this video.
I love that they did this, especially when Lin announced Priscilla Lopez. You can hear the pride in his voice of knowing her from when they were in "In the Heights" together.
Can't forget
Won't regret
What I did to get this job in Chorus Line
Can we just appreciate the smile and pride on the face of each of them when someone was singing!! Such admiration for the fellow members!! 🙌🏻
2055
A brand-new show singing Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?
And Lin being 75 years old, Daveed being 73, Anthony being 64, Oak being 68, Leslie being 74, Renée being 84, Phillipa being 65, Jamine being 66, Thayne being 75, Jonathan being 70, Christopher being 80, and Jon being 72-
AND ME BEING 51 :')
Can we just take a chance to appreciate the angelic voices of the ensemble as they performed their solos? Breathtaking.
Not only is this beautiful because of the singing, but it also shows those who are usually forgotten in musicals: The chorus. They do as much as the leading actors but they don't get as much credit as they deserve.
very cool! My wife and I bought our tickets for Hamilton for Dec 23. Hamilton is the next Chorus Line! Awesome! SSS
+Scott Smaistrla congrats; i've seen it twice once @ the public theater and then on Broadway. You guys will be in for an experience of a lifetime. I recommend listening to the cast album (free on spotify) prior to get the full outline of the book.
ahh lucky!!! I can't go live :( but if they make a DVD I'll definitely get that...
Is the show over yet?
Celine Dipp NO ITS not it's just a NEW cast now😭
thayne just holding onto Carleigh and Javi's hands made me smile so wide ahhh
amazing. a wonderful show honoring another wonderful show.
Anyone else looking at this in 2020 and being like "Oh shit it's been that long??" when looking at when this was uploaded because damn it doesn't feel like that long. 4 years. Yikes.
4 years since this comment. yikes!
I love the fact that Philipa Soo is smiling every single time ❤
JONATHAN'S FACE WHEN BETSY WAS SINGING I'M CRYING
I'm not crying, you are! I will have this on loop for the next four years. Thank you Public Theater, thank you Chorus Line, thank you Hamilton. ❤
im so glad i got to see all the ensemble members sing. there are so talented.
Oh gosh! This was magical! I saw "A Chorus Line" in San Francisco when it toured back in the day. I bought the sheet music and learned every word. I had an album, or maybe it was a cassette, or both.

WHY ARE THEIR HEADSHOTS SO FRICKEN BEAUTIFUL
