4 stars: DruryLaneTheatre delivers a stellar revival of the beloved musical AChorusLine. ChicagoTheater
"A Chorus Line" -- ★ ★ ★ ★ If you passed by Drury Lane Theatre during last week's opening of"A Chorus Line" and didn't know better, you might have mistaken periodic roars erupting from the venue for basketball fans cheering an NCAA men's final. That's how rapturously the audience greeted Drury Lane's revival of the beloved backstage tuner about dancers auditioning for a spot in a Broadway show.
Drury Lane Theatre's revival of"A Chorus Line," about the lives of dancers auditioning for a Broadway show, runs through March 19 at the Oakbrook Terrace theater. - Courtesy of Brett Beiner The thunderous response was the same kind that accompanies a three-point shot at the buzzer to win the national championship.
The 1975 musical by composer Marvin Hamlisch, lyricist Edward Kleban and writers James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante has long been a favorite among theatergoers. Conceived and directed by Michael Bennett and co-choreographed by Bennett and Bob Avian, it's based on Broadway dancers' real-life experiences: the reason they pursue dance, their struggle to have a career and what they'll do once that career is over.
Among the more poignant moments is"At the Ballet," a wonderful number in which Sheila , Bebe and Maggie recall how dancing offered solace from their unhappy childhoods.
