"A Chorus Line" is a musical with music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, and a book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante. The show opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre on July 25, 1975, and ran for 6,137 performances, becoming the longest-running production in Broadway history at that time.
The musical focuses on the stories of seventeen dancers auditioning for six spots in the chorus line of a Broadway show, and explores their experiences, hopes, and fears. The characters come from diverse backgrounds, and the show uses their individual stories to address themes such as perseverance, identity, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of artistic success.
"A Chorus Line" is known for its iconic songs such as "What I Did for Love", "One", and "I Hope I Get It". The show has received multiple awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1976. A film adaptation was released in 1985. Despite its success, controversy surrounds the show's handling of issues of race, gender, and sexuality, with many critics arguing that it perpetuates harmful stereotypes.
