A Chorus Line: Shubert Theatre
built 192 days ago
A Chorus Line was an instant box office smash. On July 25, 1975, it moved to the 1,472 seat Shubert Theatre, where it remained until its closing on April 28, 1990 playing for 6,137 performances. The cost of transfering A Chorus Line from the Public to the Shubert was $250,000, underwritten by NYSF Board Chairman LuEsther Mertz. It is estimated that a similar move today would cost well over $8 million.

ReAct's production of A Chorus Line began rehearsals in Seattle on June 5, 1998. Rehearsals were held both at the gymnasium at Pilgrim Church and the auditorium of the Nippon Kan Theatre. Many in the cast of 31 had very little prior dance experience. ReAct cast members were fortunate in getting the opportunity to spend a couple of rehearsal sessions with Roxane Carrasco and Frank Kliegel, two performers who danced for years in some of the national and international companies. These two guest artists helped fine-tune some of the dance steps. As Frank helped teach everyone the tap combination, Roxane passed on the legacy of "Cassie" to Crystal Dawn Munkers by showing her McKechnie's original choreography created by Michael Bennett.
