One Singular Sensation: "A Chorus Line" at Chanticleer Community Theatre at PACE!

Platte River Bard Podcast

We sat down with Director Todd Brooks, Stage Manager Krista Freimuth, and Actor Adam Fulbright to talk about Chanticleer's upcoming production "A Chorus Line." This is a cohesive cast who are working hard but having the time of their lives, which of course, is everything community theatre should be. This is going to be a fun production, with a live orchestra, much dancing and singing with all the classic "A Chorus Line" tunes and dance moves!

Though "A Chorus LIne" was also adapted into a popular movie in 1985, for most people the story is best told on stage. The original musical was written in 1975 by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Edward Kleban, and directed by Michael Bennett. It won many Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and in 1984 won a Tony for longest running musical on Broadway. (It is currently the 7th longest running musical to date). The "Book" (librettists of the spoken, non-sung dialogue, and storyline of a musical play) was written by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante.

The story is based on true stories and is set on the stage of a Broadway theater, and centered on seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for roles on a chorus line.

"A Chorus Line" runs May 9-12th and 16-19th at Chanticleer Community Theatre at PACE. This is a great opportunity to see this prize winning musical!
