“I want to do what I love as much as I can and as long as I can.”
- Cassie - A Chorus Line
A bold and personal reintroduction to one of Broadway's longest running shows. This polarizing story, centered around the sacrifices performers often make to attain their dreams, is about as timeless as they come. This production serves as a revamped dedication to the original production using a unique mixture of traditional and original staging and choreography. At the heart of it all, cast members immersed themselves in the stories told by the original Broadway company, while finding ways to connect and infuse their own stories of what it means to be an artist.
Reviews
“Accomplishing the monumental task of telling a story with the heartfelt, introspective psychology of a straight play while maintaining the glamour of the choreography and talent of the cast, co-directors Patrick Campbell and Melissa Rapelje carefully mined the gold in their performers that made the lustrous finale exploding in metallic bliss a fitting ending for the production.”
