A CHORUS LINE
A CHORUS LINE
Music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, book by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante
Conceived by Michael Bennett
July 24-August 2, 2026
On an empty Broadway stage in 1975, seventeen performers are put through their paces in a grueling audition for a new Broadway musical. Only eight will make the cut. Based on interviews creator Michael Bennett conducted with Broadway dancers, A Chorus Line celebrates the lives of theater’s unsung heroes as they tell searing stories of ambition, shattered hopes, and what it really costs to follow your dreams.
A Chorus Line contains some profanity and candid and humorous discussions of puberty and sexuality. Parental discretion is advised.
