It’s one singular sensation! The ground-breaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning concept musical set a new standard for Broadway and remains relevant, poignant, provocative and explosively entertaining.
A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition. Exploring the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional Broadway performers, the show features one powerhouse number after another.
Featuring memorable musical numbers including What I Did For Love, One, I Can Do That, At The Ballet, The Music And The Mirror and I Hope I Get It. A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance and compellingly authentic drama, A Chorus Line was instantly recognised as a classic.
Coastal Theatre Collective presents a stunning new production of this timeless classic, featuring a bevy of incredible local talent.
