A Chorus Line

California State University, Fullerton presents A Chorus Line by Michael Bennett, music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante, directed by Courtney Ozovek, musical direction by Marty Austin Lamar.

Winner of the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Musical, A Chorus Line follows seventeen dancers as they audition for one spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, the fictionalized show’s choreographer asks the remaining dancers to talk a bit about themselves, revealing their individuality and humanity. Based on the stories of real Broadway dancers, A Chorus Line continues to be as funny, heart wrenching, and refreshingly honest as it was when it opened nearly 50 years ago.

Content Warning: Please be advised that A Chorus Line contains themes and conversations about race, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual situations, and drug use that may not be suitable for a younger audience. Viewer discretion is advised.
