A Chorus Line

For the fifteenth episode of IN THE SPOTLIGHT we had our first-ever 'Listeners Choose’ contest, and the winner was clear... the groundbreaking 1975 musical A CHORUS LINE. Michael and Anika dive into the Pulitzer Prize-winning piece about the lives of Broadway dancers, directed and choreographed by theatrical legend Michael Bennett. We examine the show's Rashomon-like origin story (or stories) and complicated history, as well as the show's brilliant and unusual structure. Ready to listen? A-five-six-seven-eight...!
