The first stage musical I ever reviewed was a touring version of A Chorus Line back in the 90s. This November, A Chorus Line returns to Vancouver for a one-week run.
Conceived and originally directed by Michael Bennett, book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, A Chorus Line ran for almost 15 years on Broadway and remains one of the longest-running Broadway musicals in history.
