One of, if not the epitome of Broadway productions, A Chorus Line sits squarely atop all of the other productions to come before and after it. The Broadway musical hit the scene in the mid 70s and took the world by storm, drawing in both theater fans and people who never saw themselves sitting in the seats of a Broadway musical.

With over a dozen original compositions for the play, A Chorus Line is one of the most well orchestrated and perfectly musically executed plays to ever hit Broadway. The book written by James Kirkwood quickly took off and sold thousands of copies. The best selling book was quickly translated over to one of the best selling musicals to have ever been performed, skyrocketing those who acted in the original run into theater fame. The musical performed so well, the timeless story was once again translated into a film adaptation which also did incredibly well and was translated into a slew of different languages.

One thing is for sure, if you see A Chorus Line in theaters during their 2008 reproduction, you’re sure to find a fellow fan no matter where you travel in the world. The story about a group of desperate gypsies trying to find work in the theatrical business is a timeless one and despite the goofy approach that is occasionally taken during the musical, it’s still one of the greatest and most widely respected plays to have ever been performed.
