A Chorus Line is the ultimate celebration of the American musical. Audiences will share in the story of 17 dancers competing for eight coveted spots in the chorus of a Broadway show. Through the audition process, they bare their souls while sharing stories of their childhoods, ambitions, fears, and experiences in show business. One of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history, this groundbreaking Pulitzer, Tony and Drama Desk-winner is for anyone who has ever put it all on the line.
