A Chorus Line

In the organizer's words:

It is one of the most successful Broadway musicals ever and a deeply touching story:
A Chorus Line.

The musical takes the audience into the exciting world of an audition in which the hopeful applicants have to push themselves to their emotional limits. Eight coveted ensemble roles for a new Broadway play are up for grabs and the charismatic choreographer Zach is not only looking for outstanding dancers, but also challenges the talents to reveal their innermost feelings. The drama unfolds as the protagonists gradually reveal their life stories - sometimes defiantly, sometimes using humor as a protective veil, and then again with unsparing honesty, which makes the emotions all the more touching.

Love, intimacy and the search for one's own identity and place in this world are at the heart of this timeless musical, which was filmed in 1985 with Michael Douglas in the leading role. It entices the audience to let themselves be carried away into an enthusiastic "Oh yes, I know that" at some point in the midst of the many emotions. The fascinating climax of the musical is the almost impossible love story between Zach and Cassie, which adds an extra touch of drama and passion to the play. No wonder A Chorus Line broke the record for the longest running musical in New York after its premiere in 1975.

Show length: approx. 150 minutes (for licensing reasons, the musical is performed without an intermission)
