Opening this week at the Paper Mill Playhouse is the classic “A Chorus Line”, the “singular sensation” since 1975. The cast will include Paper Mill veterans and Broadway talent, proving that you don’t need to cross a bridge or tunnel to experience the most exceptional talent the country has to offer.

Paper Mill Playhouse, known for world-class productions, brought it all to the table (or stage, as it were) for this inter-generational audience favorite. With chart-busting musical numbers from Marvin Hamlisch (a score that has won nearly every award one can imagine), the cast has audience members singing along in their seats.

The show begins at the audition of a score of dancers for a show that is unnamed. As the show’s director whittles them down both by talent and by questioning them (he wishes to get to know thier personalities), we find out more about what made the dancers who they are, and what brought them to the stage. From Paul’s moving, teary confession, to Morales, who had a rough time in school because she felt “Nothing”, to a newlywed couple who want to make it together- we wonder who the director will choose. He has only room for 4 boys, 4 girls. (For the rest of the story, please read HERE)
