One Singular Sensation!

A Chorus Line shines a light on the ensemble; the fear, struggle and emotion that is behind every anonymous face in the crowd. Through a mixture of dramatic performance and a confessional score, 17 dancers audition for a show, some looking for their big break, just a job, or their very last chance. Running for 15 years on Broadway, it is an iconic piece of American musical theatre that never fails to disappoint with its exhilarating and inspiring celebration of what it is to really chase your dreams.

Opening on Broadway in 1975, A Chorus Line was created when choreographer and director Michael Bennett joined a project that asked the dancers of the ensemble about their lives. Seeing that experiences would make a great musical, they began to create the show. Even before opening night, there was a huge buzz about this show, proved by its phenomenal success! A wonderfully fresh piece of theatre, it went on to win 8 Tony Award and A Pulitzer Prize for drama and still delights audiences worldwide to this day.
