THEATRE PREVIEW

JANUARY 2023 | Volume 223

 

Studio 58, the professional theatre training program at Langara College, is back on Granville Island for its annual hit musical! A Chorus Line is a high-energy show that will have you singing and dancing along in your seat. 

"God, I hope I get it!" This beloved Tony award-winning musical offers you a glimpse into the lives of a group of Broadway performers as they audition for the role of a lifetime! In an unexpected twist, they are asked to share their personal stories and the performers open up about their childhoods, experiences in the business and the courage it takes to follow your dreams. Before long you'll be rooting for your favourite and reveling in musical theatre's most unforgettable finale! 

"A Chorus Line is one of the most beloved shows in musical theatre history and I'm thrilled to share this iconic piece with Vancouver audiences," shared Director Courtenay Dobbie. "This production stays true to A Chorus Line's deepest theme - the artistic pursuit of a dancer following their hopes and dreams, and the defeat (as well as the glory) of it all."
