With music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban, the play follows a group of young performers trying out for a Broadway show.
It’s a long way from mid-’70s New York to mid-’20s Vancouver, but some things never change. Like the fear and pressure experienced by the fledgling dancers and singers in A Chorus Line.
With music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, and book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, the play follows a group of young performers trying out for the chorus line of a Broadway show. A monster hit when it debuted on Broadway nearly 50 years ago, it received 12 Tony Award nominations and won nine, along with the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Until Cats surpassed it in 1997, it was the longest-running production in Broadway history.
One reason Dobbie chose the show was because she knew that the musical would play to the strengths of this year’s cohort. Her training is in dance and acting, so singing is the scariest part for her. And as Val, she belts out one of the show’s bona fide showstoppers, the raunchy “Dance: Ten; Looks: Three,” with its refrain of, “Tits and ass.”
