SC Arts Commision Grants Awards

Performances of A Chorus Line

June 22 – July 29, 2007

One of America’s longest-running musicals, that singular sensation that swept away audiences with its poignant portrayal of a chorus audition, remains a marvel of musical theater. Deftly mixing showbiz razzmatazz with compelling true-to-life drama, this landmark show garnered nine Tonys, five Drama Desk Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for drama, one of the few musicals ever to receive this honor. Its memorable score, written by Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban, is packed with stunning production numbers like “One (Singular Sensation),” “Dance: Ten; Looks: Three” and “What I Did for Love.” Set in a New York theater, the curtain rises to find a stage full of young hopefuls dancing “The Opening” combination. Soon 16 dancers are left to vie for eight spots on the chorus line. Relive the unrelenting enthusiasm and the dogged determination of those unsung heroes of musical theater —the chorus dancers.
