A CHORUS LINE
JULY 13 - AUGUST 6 - Flat Rock Playhouse on the Leiman Mainstage
Flat Rock, NC (June 21, 2023) – The “One Singular Sensation,” A Chorus Line, is coming to Flat Rock Playhouse for the first time and we are thrilled to share this award-winning musical with everyone! A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre: the chorus dancers. The show follows 17 would-be dancers in their quest to make the cut for a new Broadway Musical. One by one, the dancers come forward to share the stories of their lives, giving it their all and putting themselves on the line to make the cut. Only eight will remain. Capturing the spirit, tension, and hope of an audition, A Chorus Line is the musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all out there to make it come true!
“A Chorus Line was originally in our 2020 lineup pre-Pandemic,”says Artistic Director Lisa K. Bryant. “Patrons were very excited then, and it’s wonderful to see them coming back in droves to purchase tickets now. We’ve never produced A Chorus Line at Flat Rock Playhouse and we’re excited to bring this blockbuster, Pulitzer prize winning show to our community.”
A Chorus Line once held the record as the longest running show on Broadway with over 6000 performances, and heralds nine Tony® Awards including Best Musical, Best Director and Best Choreographer, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Conceived and Originally Directed and Choreographed by Michael Bennett. Book by James Kirkwood & Nicholas Dante, Music by Marvin Hamlisch, Lyrics by Edward Kleban. Co-Choreographed by Bob Avian.
