A CHORUS LINE
reclaimed its place in the heart of Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld
Theatre (236 W 45th St) where it
opened to rave reviews on October 5, 2006.
Elysa Gardner of USA Today
calls it
“Exhilarating and endearing, it still has a
freshness and fervency too seldom seen in
contemporary musicals,” while The
New York Daily News exclaims “There’s
nothing better! The show thrills from the
opening number to the glittering finale,”
and
Jeffrey Lyons of WNBC TV hails it “An American
Masterpiece. A show for the ages.”
A CHORUS LINE is directed by its original Tony Award
winning co-choreographer Bob Avian and is
produced by John F. Breglio for
Vienna Waits Productions.
A CHORUS LINE recouped its entire $8 million investment after only 157 performances
(19 weeks) on Broadway. It broke the
theatre’s box office record 7 times in its
first 5 months.
A CHORUS LINE ended its Broadway run on August 17, 2008 after 18
preview and 759 regular performances.
A CHORUS LINE, conceived and originally choreographed and directed by Michael
Bennett, features a book by James Kirkwood
and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch
and lyrics by Edward Kleban. For this new
production, Baayork Lee re-stages the
original choreography.
The new production features scenery by Robin Wagner,
costumes by Theoni V. Aldredge, lighting by
Tharon Musser adapted by Natasha Katz and
sound by Acme Sound Partners.
Musical supervision is by Patrick Vaccariello with musical
direction by John C. O'Neill, orchestrations
are by Jonathan Tunick, Billy Byers and
Hershy Kay and vocal arrangements are by Don
Pippin.
The new 2006 Broadway cast recording of A CHORUS LINE
was released by Masterworks Broadway and is
available in stores nationwide.
The original production of A CHORUS LINE opened at
the Public Theater’s Newman Theatre on May
21, 1975 and transferred to Broadway’s
Shubert Theatre on July 25th,
opening there on October 19th of
that year.
It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, nine Tony Awards,
including Best Musical, Score and Book, and
the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. It
ran for nearly 15 years, closing on April
28, 1990 after 6,137 performances. A
CHORUS LINE remains the longest-running
American musical in Broadway history.
