#BROADWAY MUSICAL THE CHORUS LINE SERIES#
At the beginning of the show, Zach, a driven, compulsive worker, has assembled thirty semi-finalists and is putting them through a vigorous series of dance combinations, including ballet and jazz. Specifically, A Chorus Line takes the audience through the final grueling audition run by the director, Zach, for a new Broadway musical. We all compete, no matter what business we're in, for promotion, for attention, for approval and for love. For everyone, at one time or another, puts his life on the line. It is also a celebration of the American Musical itself.Ī Chorus Line is also about competition, and competition might easily be the common denominator that grabs the audience and holds it by the collective heartstring until the final, ultimate choices are made. The show is cast by Curve Associate Kay Magson CDG.Ī Chorus Line runs from 3 – 31 December 2021.A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre-the chorus dancers, those valiant, overdedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who back up the star or stars and often make them look even more talented than they are. The emotional stakes are heightened when Zach’s ex-lover Cassie, fresh from an attempt to make it in Hollywood, wants to audition for the chorus line.Ī Chorus Line will have set designed by Grace Smart, musical supervision from David Shrubsole, costume design by Edd Lindley, lighting by Howard Hudson, sound design by Tom Marshall and musical direction by Tamara Saringer. What follows are searing stories of ambition, childhood, shattered dreams and what it means to follow your dreams onto the stage. The audition takes an unexpected turn as the director, Zach, invites the performers to open up about their lives and what brought them into theatre. On an empty Broadway stage, 18 performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical. The cast is completed by Emily Barnett-Salter as Sheila Bryant, Bradley Delarosbel as Gregory Gardner, Lizzy-Rose Esin-Kelly as Diana Morales, André Fabien Francis as Richie Walters, Ainsley Hall Ricketts as Paul San Marco, Joshua Lay as Al Deluca, Kanako Nakano as Judy Turner, Hicaro Nicolai as Swing, Jamie O’Leary as Mark Anthony, Tom Partridge as Don Kerr, Rachel Jayne Picar as Connie Wong, Chloe Saunders as Val Clarke, Charlotte Scott as Maggie Winslow, Hollie Smith-Nelson as Swing, Marina Tavolieri as Swing and Taylor Walker as Larry.
