Full Disclosure: I am biased. My good friend Rick Donato is the drummer for this particular cast tour of the show. That being said, the drums were awesome!

A Chorus Line is a classic show that you should see once. More than once? That depends on how much you like musical theater. Since I’ve been working as an accompanist, I’ve developed a greater appreciation for the interplay between dance and song. I’m constantly watching to see if people are dancing on the beat, off the beat, against the beat, etc… Technical? Sure. A little anal retentive? Sure, but it does mean that I can tell you with some degree of assurance that the cast is solid.

What’s it about?
A bunch of people trying out for a part in a chorus. They are asked questions by the stage manager to help narrow down who will stay and who will go home.

The Bushnell is one big-ass hall. The ceiling is very high, and it does seem particularly long.

Check it out if it comes to a town near where you live.
