Theatrical presents
A Chorus Line
A show about the hopes, dreams and struggles of 17 dancers that hope to get into a chorus line in the latest show on Broadway.
Beside auditioning as dancers, they each are asked questions about themselves.
A first class production with an amazing standard of timing from each dancer.
A simple set comprising of five mirrors at rear of stage which were moved about to suit the occasion.
Dancers were in rehearsal costumes for the entire show except at the finale.
The director, Zach, for the show onstage was Julian Dods. He had the job of cutting the 17 dancers down to eight.
Not a happy task. Cassie, one of the auditionees, was a former star who wanted this job desperately.
Played by Madeline Pratt who handled the role with finesse.
Nathan Fernandez was Paul, a mixed up character who surprised all in his performance.
A good interpretation of the character.
A full orchestra of 17 musicians who accompanied the dancers with aplomb.
A full house for opening night and a sow highly recommended to see.
