A Chorus Line
Assembly Rooms Theatre, Durham
Wednesday 16th - Saturday 19th June 2010
DULOG will fill the Assembly Rooms this summer with a compelling production of one of the most exciting and original of all musicals. A Chorus Line shines the spotlight not on the stars, but on the usually faceless and unknown chorus, following the final-stages of casting for a new Broadway show. After an electric opening, in which these 'gypsies' are really put through their paces in a desperate attempt to impress the director and win a place in the final line, the field is cut down to seventeen. Standing on a bare, empty stage, all attention is focused on those remaining, thrusting them forward for their moment in the limelight and the chance to show off their talent. But as the show progresses, the deserted stage gives nowhere to hide as the auditionees are forced to reveal to the director, and to the audience "what's not on their resumé". At times funny, at times heartbreaking, their stories provide a unique insight into the lives of these individuals who want nothing more than the chance to dance.
