If you are still ready to groove, bop on over to Ivoryton Playhouse for a few great dance lessons as that singular sensation “A Chorus Line” struts its fancy footwork, revealing true stories of dancers as they audition for a new Broadway musical and perfect their talents. Michael Bennett gets full credit for the original idea, direction and choreography, with book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban. “A Chorus Line” takes you into the hearts, minds and bodies of Broadway wannabes who are at a cattle call to find eight dancers for a brand new musical. The hopefuls are soon pared down to seventeen in number, all praying “I Hope I Get It.”
You will feel their angst and anxiety, their trepidation and terror, their enthusiasm and energy, their joy and jubilation as they open up their inner soul to con-
vince the director that they deserve a chance. Dancing is their life and they cannot conceive of a world without it. This production showcases Schuyler Beeman, Grant Benedict, Ronnie Bowman Jr., Andee Buccheri, Cory Candelet, James Falcon, Stephanie Genito, Sam Given, Joey Lucherini, Amanda Lupacchino, Natalie Madlon, Alexa Racioppi, Jared Starkey, Max Weinstein, Kayla Starr Bryan, Matthew Carp, Dakota Hoar, Liv Kurtz, Lina Lee, Jennifer Roberts, Edward Stanley, Cassidy Terracciano, Lili Thomas, Sarah Warrick and Carl Zurhorst.
Stand in a line next to each hopeful as they try to prove they deserve their chance in the spotlight and
explain poignantly or humorously what each did for love.
The production is directed and choreographed by Todd L. Underwood and musical directed by Michael Morris, with set design by Martin Scott Marchitto, lighting design by Marcus Abbott and costume design by Kate Bunce.
