Overview
Marvin Hamlisch's love letter to the theatre has, since its 1975 debut, become one of musical theatre cannon's most enduring and beloved productions. Its roll call of achievements alone is a testament to this: A Chorus Line has picked up ten Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize (not to mention a Helpmann for Best Musical following its recent Australian revival) on its way to becoming one of the longest-running productions in Broadway history.
This production of the classic show from Darlinghurst Theatre Company takes its audience backstage to unveil the struggles of Broadway performers, exploring themes of exploitation, racism and sexism. The production also includes some of the all-time great musical theatre numbers, including 'I Hope I Get It', 'One' and 'What I Did For Love'.
After four sold-out preview sessions early last year followed by two COVID-prompted postponements, this production of A Chorus Line has finally hit the stage, finding its home at the Sydney Opera House's Drama Theatre. This run of shows, running until Friday, March 11, is backed by some of the biggest names working in Australian musical theatre today, including Helpmann-nominated choreographer Amy Campbell (In the Heights, Funny Girl) and musical supervisor Andrew Worboys (Rent, American Psycho).
