A Chorus Line
Broadway audition musical
A Chorus Line is a 1975 Broadway musical about dancers auditioning for a chorus role in a show.
The musical, which became one of the longest-running productions in Broadway history, uses a bare stage and follows dancers as they reveal personal stories while competing for limited spots.
The title refers to the backup dancers who perform in unison behind featured performers—the chorus line that every Broadway hopeful must join before becoming a star.
