VCP presents A CHORUS LINE
A CHORUS LINE
Conceived and Originally Directed and Choreographed by Michael Bennett
Book by James Kirkwood & Nicholas Dante
Music by Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics by Edward Kleban
Co-Choreographed by Bob Avian
A Chorus Line tells the story of seventeen dancers all vying for a spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway show. Focusing on their personal lives, struggles, and ambitions, the show explores the dancers’ backstories through song and dance, revealing their passion for performing and the sacrifices they have made. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director and choreographer, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogenous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer’s individuality. From Cassie, the star who just needs the “music and the mirror and the chance to dance,” to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister’s place in dance class, saying “I can do that.” A Chorus Line is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest.
