built 175 days ago
A Chorus Line, the record breaking Tony Award winning musical, with a 15 year continuous run on Broadway, is back. The musical which first previewed on April 16, 1975 at the Off-Broadway theater, The Public Theater, then known as the Estelle R. Newman Theater, opened on May 21, 1975. It previewed at Broadway’s Shubert Theater on July 25, 1975 and opened on October 19, the same year, and became the longest running show in the history of Broadway, with its 3389th performance on September 29, 1983. It continued its excellent performances until it closed on April 28, 1990 after 6,137 performances, and 15 years.

A handful of the "original cast members" of ReAct's A Chorus Line returned to Seattle's Broadway Performance Hall to reprise their roles (and take on new ones) in ReAct's encore engagement of "The best musical. Ever." They were joined by a wave of new cast members who auditioned to join the cast, much like the way castmembers changed overtime during the show's original record-setting Broadway run. This encore engagement played for a limited 26 performances from September 9th through October 10th, 1999, becoming the final production of A Chorus Line in the Pacific Northwest during the 20th Century.

In the fall of 2006, A Chorus Line will reclaim its place in the heart of Broadway. For a new generation, it's a chance to experience the quintessential Broadway musical on Broadway. For others, it's an opportunity to reconnect with a cherished friend.

Expanding the current time warp created by "A Chorus Line" and "Les Miserables," the national tour of "Annie" has landed in New York after a year on the road. But instead of showing its age, the production -- directed by lyricist and original Broadway helmer Martin Charnin -- beams with opening-night energy and charm. It even boasts a bit of Gotham-only stunt casting that proves surprisingly inspired.

A Chorus Line would revolutionize the way audiences view musical theatre. It broke away from the rigid story line of traditional musicals, instead weaving together the stories of the ensemble cast into a seamless whole. It broke new ground technically as well, becoming the first show on Broadway to use computers in the control booth.

Last night, Tony Yazbeck and Chryssie Whitehead danced off the stage at A Chorus Line and right into Times Square. They were posing in costume (and in a zipcar!) for Live the Good Life, a new campaign for the American Diabetes Association, which is holding a gala tomorrow night at Chelsea Piers. Bruce Glikas was there and will bring a full Photo Op soon, but here’s a tease.
