Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts

A CHORUS LINE

Conceived and Originally Directed and Choreographed by Michael Bennett
Book by James Kirkwood & Nicholas Dante
Music by Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics by Edward Kleban
Co-Choreographed by Bob Avian

In 1975, the stories of seventeen Broadway dancers sprang to life when A CHORUS LINE opened Off-Broadway. Born of workshop sessions with actual Broadway dancers (eight of whom appeared in the original cast), the musical turned the spotlight on the anonymous, sparkling workhorses of the ensemble. The scrutiny of the audition room gives way to the intimacy of a confessional as—one by one—the usually overlooked cogs in the machine step forward to divulge why their lives are singular and sensational.

This incisive portrait of the life of the Broadway dancer received twelve Tony Award nominations, winning nine—in addition to the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. With a number of songs, including “What I Did for Love,” “One,” “At the Ballet,” and “The Music and the Mirror,” A CHORUS LINE is both a snapshot of a moment in history and a showcase of the amazing Ruth Asawa School of the Arts students.

A CHORUS LINE runs 2 hours and 10 minutes with no intermission.
