In an empty theater, 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.

"The characters portrayed in A CHORUS LINE are, for the most part, based upon the lives of Broadway dancers.
This show is dedicated to anyone who has ever danced in a chorus or marched in step...anywhere." -- Michael Bennett
