I love a Chorus Line!. I believe it is the longest running play in Broadway history!. It is about a bunch of people who are auditioning for a role in a chorus line!. Throughout the whole thing, each one of them sort of tells their story about how they got there and why they decided to become dancers!. It's great to be in because there are a lot of big parts since each character sort of has their moment!.
I like the character Kristine a lot!. I had to sing her song for a class project once!. Cassie is probably a good one, too!.
Even though the characters are dancers, you don't necessarily have to be a dancer!. Don't worry about learning ballet or anything like that!. At the audition, they'll probably teach you something to do!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sheila is the older dancer!. She feels that she doesn't really need to prove herself much!. Lots of attitude!. Great role!.
You WILL need to dance but yes, you will be taught a specific dance at the audition!. Ballet and Jazz training would be helpful but it's not like you're going to need to bring pointe shoes so don't worry too much!. In A Chorus Line, you SELL it!. So smile the whole time, even if you're unsure of what you are doing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Hmm, never seen it!. But you can probably find several clips on YouTube, I always use it to help me with my upcoming auditions, and to this point it's worked! :) Good luckk!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
