06 Jan 2013 Tickets available for 'A Chorus Line'
“A Chorus Line” – the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all on the line – will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, at the Reynolds Performance Hall.
The all new production is part of the University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances.
The original production opened at the Public Theater’s Newman Theatre on May 21, 1975, and later transferred to Broadway’s Shubert Theatre. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Score and Book, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.
It ran for nearly 15 years, closing on April 28, 1990, after 6,137 performances.
On Sept. 29, 1983, “A Chorus Line” became the longest-running American musical in Broadway history and held this title for 28 years from 1983 to 2011 (when it was surpassed by “Chicago”).
In 2006, “A Chorus Line” reclaimed its place in the heart of Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre where it opened to rave reviews on Oct. 5, 2006. Elysa Gardner of USA Today called it “Exhilarating and endearing, it still has a freshness and fervency too seldom seen in contemporary musicals,” while The New York Daily News exclaimed “There’s nothing better! The show thrills from the opening number to the glittering finale,” and Jeffrey Lyons of WNBC TV hailed it “An American Masterpiece.”
A “show for all ages” this production will be directed and restaged by Baayork Lee.
