A CHORUS LINE is a stunning musical
about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical. It tells of the achingly
poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the
show, and is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration. Memorable
musical numbers include I Can Do That, At the Ballet, Dance: Ten;
Looks: Three, The Music and the Mirror, What I Did for Love, One
(Singular Sensation) and I Hope I Get It. It is a brilliantly
complex fusion of dance, song and compellingly authentic drama. The show
was instantly recognized as a classic. This critically acclaimed show
played for over 15 years on Broadway and was (for a time) the longest
running musical in Broadway history. It is now finding renewed life on
the Great White Way as a hit revival.
Auditions will be held April 21st and 22nd at 7:30pm at the
Roseville Theater. Call-backs will be held on April 23rd at 7:30pm.

Did you know...
A Chorus Line opened
off-Broadway at The Public Theater on May 21, 1975. Advance word had
created such a demand for tickets that the entire run sold out
immediately. Producer Joseph Papp decided to move the production
uptown, and on July 25 it opened at the Shubert Theatre, where it
ran for 6,137 performances. It held the distinction of being the
longest running show in Broadway history until its record was
surpassed by Cats in 1997 and then
The Phantom of the Opera in 2006. It currently
stands as the fifth longest-running musical ever, following
The Fantasticks, The Phantom of the Opera,
Cats, and Les Miserables.
Mara Davi, a local performer from Folsom, recently re-created the
role of "Maggie" in the current Broadway revival of
A Chorus Line and is now starring in
The Drowsy Chaperone in the role of "Janet Van
de Graaff"
