A Chorus Line is a mesmerizing musical that delves deep into the realities of Broadway life.

Conceived by the visionary Michael Bennett, it is based on real testimonies from dancers in the industry, providing an authentic and heartfelt narrative.

A Chorus Line at The Lowry

A Chorus Line

Set in 1975, the story follows the auditions of 17 hopeful performers, each vying for their big break on Broadway.

Ellen Kane’s choreography is nothing short of elegant and fluid, seamlessly integrating the inevitable missteps of auditions into the dance routines.

The audience’s gasps and captivated expressions were a testament to her skilful execution.

The breathtaking performances by each cast member offer a glimpse into the diverse backgrounds and aspirations of the characters, fostering a deep connection with the audience.

Amazing performances by Manuel Pacific and Mercedes Dyer

Among the talented ensemble, Manuel Pacific as Paul and Carly Mercedes Dyer as Cassie stood out.

Their performances were a highlight, blending impeccable choreography with poignant dialogue about their personal journeys to Broadway.

The show is peppered with comedic moments, particularly during scenes involving Maggie, played by Kate Parr, eliciting hearty laughter from the audience.

Transporting you back to the 70’s

Edd Lindley’s makeup and costume designs transport the audience back to the 70s, capturing the essence of the era while showcasing the individuality of each character.

Grace Smart’s set design employs minimal props to recreate the backstage atmosphere of an audition hall, offering an unvarnished glimpse into the industry’s less glamorous side.

Howard Hudson’s masterful use of lighting

Howard Hudson’s masterful use of lighting enhances the storytelling, with spotlights shifting and illuminating characters from various angles, providing dynamic visual perspectives as their stories unfold.

I highly recommend this show for teens and adults, especially those with a passion for dance and music. A Chorus Line is a phenomenal production that I thoroughly enjoyed.

The play is a must-see that captures the essence of Broadway with exhilarating energy and emotional depth.

It’s an extraordinary show that will captivate and inspire anyone with a love for dance, music, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams
