A Chorus Line is scheduled to run from 3 to 31 December 2021.
They have some Big Shoes to fill. Better hope people say the same things they're saying about the New West Side Story. It's hard to make a GREAT show better.
for someone who did over 2,000 shows and over 12 different productions (one of them being the 1st Revival Broadway National Tour), THE ORIGINAL PIECE IS TIMELESS, AND THATS THAT! NOTHING CAN TOP IT! DONT CHANGE THINGS THAT ARE TIMELESS!!!
although i respect and admire your work on Chorus Line over the years, i respectfully disagree. it’s always dangerous to not allow for change even when things are considered “timeless”. the reality is, as theatre progresses, it becomes more diverse and inclusionary, meaning diverse prospectives and more opportunity for more voices that have been traditionally unheard. we have to be able to appreciate and cherish what worked about the original while also allowing for new visions and takes. those two things do not have to be mutually exclusive. For example, a Chorus Line is my all time favorite musical of all time (yes the original OBC) but as an actor of color, i would’ve liked to see diversity represented better- that is a new concept- producing musicals that accurately represent the diversity of this country. That is just one example of how revisiting classics, even masterpieces, have value. The new choreography may work but it may not work because, yes, Michael Bennett’s dancing was genius, but even if the new stuff crashes and burns, why should an inclusive and improved theatre environment not be able to take a crack at it? why does it have to mean the classic no longer exists? the first non-adapted american musical theatre was minstrelsy. if we all had a mindset that art cannot be revisited and reimagined and reworked, i for sure wouldn’t be allowed on stage. Just my thoughts.
loved carly mercedes dyer in anything goes!! i bet she’ll kill here too!!
Was about to write the same thing! She was the breakout star of that show!!!
Seen it already and she does kill it! Such a star!
IS THAT A BLACK WOMAN PLAYING CASSIE, OMGGGGG 🤩🤩🤩🤩
AHHH
Went to see it opening night. Never seen it before or really knew what it was about but it was SO GOOD. Nikolai Foster's direction is always amazing.
REALLY hope this tours or returns to the West End, Leicester is quite a trek for me, and trains are expensive! 😖
it is touring at the minute, hope you manage(d) to see it
What the actual fuck is this? That show is NEVER to be tweaked. It’s perfection in its purest form. And this is …..
Pretty sure the shots of the audience are stills. No audience is that non-reactive to One lol.
Yeah they definitely are. It looks like none of them are even breathing lol
They changed the iconic kick line at the end of "One" that the audience is eagerly anticipating. I wouldn't applaud either.
Michael Bennet is rolling over in his grave. What the hell have they done with his beautiful chorography?
What did I just witness? For someone who has seen A Chorus Line at least 40 times over the course of my life.... DON'T mess with choreography that is perfection ! What the hell ! They were sitting on chairs?! GTFO !!!!
I've probably seen it dozens of times myself and I have to agree with you 100%. How could anyone have the audacity to attempt to improve upon Michael Bennett?
... You're upset that for one number, they're sitting down?
Hellll yes🤩💫💫💛
The only reason to do new choreography is if you can make it better. As Val says, “That ain’t it, kid.”
O yes, let's just keep doing the same thing over and over again.
@@Awardshq Do you need reading comprehension lessons? Did I say to keep doing the same thing over and over again? No. Check yourself.
@marcuspd7502 well technically, if you are saying the only reason to do new Choreography is if you can make it better, then yes, you want the same over and over again. The original is a masterpiece that can never be replaced.
Take a seat boo.
@@Awardshq Oh, now I said, “masterpiece” and “can never be replaced” Hilarious. Keep typing. Clown.
Could you provide me with information on which version has been confirmed by Baayork? The plot or narrative of this work may not resonate with the younger generation, but it holds significance in the history of musicals. Why has it been revived to this extent?
please please please do not mess with the choreography for "i hope i get it." anything else in any other show is fine but that this.
I’ve seen a lot of comments upset about the “tweaking” of the source material. While i understand the love and admiration for what is the masterpiece of the original Chorus Line- i respectfully disagree with your frustration at this version. And here’s why: it’s always dangerous to not allow for change even when things are considered “timeless”. the reality is, as theatre progresses, it becomes more diverse and inclusionary, meaning diverse prospectives and more opportunity for more voices that have been traditionally unheard. we have to be able to appreciate and cherish what worked about the original while also allowing for new visions and takes. those two things do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Just my thoughts.
You simply DONT do A Chorus Line without using the original choreography. No darling.
A CHORUS LINE is such a classic iconic amazing musical ...this production its TERRIBLE they are not even synchroniced very bad cast
I watched the show last Saturday. Although the cast is really talented, I feel that the changes in music and choreography compromised this masterpiece. All the iconic '70s atmosphere and Michael Bennett's artistry have been erased. This is not a professional stage production of A Chorus Line, but rather a reimagined free adaptation that disrespects the original. You don't paint over the Mona Lisa.
That…. Didn’t look good. This is my favorite musical. I understand wanting to change the choreography, but are we not going to discuss that they’re all wearing everyday clothes to a dance audition????
Omg, NO!!! Unless you’re doing it like the original, don’t mess with it! ESPECIALLY the closing number. Hell, just do it the same, for Michael Bennett’s sake!
It just doesn’t seem right with this choreography like the movie and the music seems weird
Movie 2021
STAHP! That's hilarious--and so true!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm tired of Michael Bennett's choreography actually. Now that the show is available for everyone to do, even high school versions copy his choreography. Someone has to break away from the same old formula and try to breathe life into this old show. They also need to update the celebrity references in the show and not just the costumes.
He plays West side story
So... what's the plot?
They're trying way too hard with the costumes. And the choreography is awful.
This looks horrible…
Yikes
Yikes. Um no thanks
the music and the mirror choeography looks terrible
I saw it yesterday evening and it was stunning
Why not produce a new work? Are we that hard up for new ideas these days?
there are lots of revivals in theater of the classic shows, it's a not a new phenomenon
There is an awful lot of new musicals out there, especially in the UK and more so in America... It’s just that they are all crap.
Coming from a theatre nerd, seeing a broadway musical improve throughout the decades is an amazing thing to see, as each year it gets more special and holds a bigger spot in people's hearts. Think of it as a broadway tradition!
Hmmmmm :(
what is this 💀
