A Chorus Line recreates the golden era of theatre beautifully at Leicester's Curve Theatre ☆☆☆☆☆

Curve Leicester's production of A Chorus Line is a dazzling triumph, swiftly establishing itself as the must-see show of the summer! Having captivated audiences on The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals and the final of Britain’s Got Talent, this sensational revival continues to garner well-deserved acclaim.

Set in New York City in 1975, the musical transports audiences to an empty Broadway stage where seventeen hopeful performers endure a final, grueling audition for a new Broadway musical. The stakes are high, as only eight will make the cut. This timeless story, created by the visionary Michael Bennett, draws from real-life testimonies of dancers, offering a raw and poignant glimpse into the world of theatre’s unsung heroes.

Under the expert direction of Nikolai Foster, the production brilliantly brings to life the evocative book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, coupled with Marvin Hamlisch’s unforgettable music and Edward Kleban’s stirring lyrics. The iconic songs, including "One," "I Hope I Get It," "Nothing," and the heartfelt ballad "What I Did For Love," are performed with a passion and precision that leaves the audience breathless.
