JUlY 7 - 19 A ChorUs linein an empty theatre, on a bare stage, casting for a new broadway musical is almost complete. For 17 dancers, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. it’s what they’ve worked for - with every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives. it’s the one opportunity to do what they’ve always dreamed -- to have the chance to dance. This is A Chorus Line, the musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all on the line. Winner of nine Tony Awards®, including “best Musical” and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, this singular sensation is the longest-running American broadway musical ever. Now A Chorus Line returns.

Along the way, elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. After turning broadway and MTV hot pink, this “Feel-good Song and Dance Juggernaut” (New York Magazine) is “The best New Musical Around!” (WOr)
