Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Spotlight Hearted

From 42nd Street to Fame, Broadway loves musicals about, well, being in musicals. Enter A Chorus Line. Based on candid interviews with actual dancers on the Great White Way, the show takes place on a bare stage during an audition run by a demanding director. In it, dancers desperate for work project a can-do attitude about legging it while sharing their life stories, some of which get pretty personal. (Written in 1975, A Chorus Line was the first Broadway musical to deal with homosexuality in a matter-of-fact way.) Get your fill of gold lamé, jazz hands and ambition at Lyric Theatre’s production of the classic show, and share the thrill of finding — or being — that “one singular sensation.”
