A Chorus Line, Musical Review

Last week I went to see A Chorus Line with my Sister-in-Law at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Here is a photo of us both just before we went inside. (Standing in front of a poster Aladdin.)

I’m not fond of photos of myself but hey, you’ve got me today, lol. I even got dressed up in my favourite Joe Browns top and jacket and I love my Mia Tui bag, I can wear it around my waist while in my wheelchair. It’s much easier to get into than my usual pannier.

A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line is a simple story of a group of people who are all fighting for a place in the chorus line of a big production. But, it’s not so simple, because each one of those budding dancers and singers has their own story to tell and their own reason to be there.

The entire production focuses on the auditions and there is lots of showing off as well as some really sad stories. There are only 7 places but who is going to make the cut?

There are lots of different songs in the show, some sad, some funny and plenty of fabulous dancing. But the Chorus Line is the famous ‘One’ which I think most people have heard of. If you haven’t…here’s the Youtube video.

But both my SIL and myself had a firm favourite from the show, ‘What I Did For Love.’ You’ve probably heard that song too, it’s been covered many times.

Overall, it’s a really good show and great entertainment. I would definitely see it again. (although I’ve never actually seen the film?) It focuses on the unsung heroes of the musicals, those in the background who work tirelessly as a team to make the shows as great as they are.

Have you seen A Chorus Line? I did a post recently about some of the musicals I’ve seen. I think it’s become a little bit of an obsession with me.
