Michael Bennett's 1975 tale of Broadway's gypsies--the chorus dancers--resonated with audiences as few shows ever have, examining with both hilarity and heartbreak the grueling life of ordinary performers always auditioning for an opportunity to be members of a faceless chorus line. And along the way, it picked up the Pulitzer, the New York Drama Critics Award, and nine Tonys, and became the longest-running show in Broadway history. The original cast (eight of whom contributed their real-life memories to the show) included no major stars, but are unmatched on this cast recording of Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban's score, including Priscilla Lopez's poignant "Nothing," Donna McKechnie's yearning dance number "The Music and the Mirror," one of Broadway's most famous torch ballads in "What I Did for Love," and the ultimate high-kicking chorus number, "One." Fans of the show will welcome the 1998 remastered CD, which adds two and a half minutes to "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love." While still incomplete, the montage now includes "Four-foot ten," "Little brat," and "The worst thing in school...." --David Horiuchi

great soundtrack for a great show............2007-06-09

I first heard this soundtrack on my cousin's CD player, back when she was pursuing musical theater, as a young teenager (at least ten years ago). Some of the greatest songs from the musical repertoire are here: "What I Did For Love," "One," and "Nothing." It's always a great sign when a score (in this case, by the talented duo of Hamlisch and Kleban) works so well that people don't have to see the musical to know what it's about from just a few musical numbers. That isn't to say that the show isn't wonderful, too. To make long stories [very] short for the sake of the increasingly decreasing attention spans of my readers who just want to know "Should I buy this," A CHORUS LINE is the story of a group of singer/dancers from diverse backgrounds, coming together on one Broadway stage for the same reason. They all want a crack at being a part of a dancing chorus line on The Great White Way, that could be their big break. There are other dramas going on, behind that, of course (and we hear all of their stories, complete with monologue, song and dance number). The drama is high, but so is the infectiousness. You really build attachments and interests in each of the characters, and the story is so well-written, you'll be compelled to stick through the songs and follow the stories, just to see who is "The One." This is truly a great example of storytelling in musical theater. There is a reason it was one of the longest running shows on Broadway.

A Chorus Line.......2007-05-31

Makes you recall the thrill of attending this terrific musical. You experience the glory and the pain and love every minute of it again.

What They Did For Love.......2007-02-12

A Chorus Line was an unlikely Broadway hit--there were no big name celebrities to brighten up the stage, no elaborate sets, and, according to the liner notes, "almost no plot." However, A Chorus Line shined brightly because it highlighted the lives of the people who are in the chorus line of a Broadway musical. By focusing on the people who normally don't make the leap into stardom, A Chorus Line paradoxically gained remarkable strength and popularity. A Chorus Line ran for fifteen years; and this CD shows why.

The CD begins with the track entitled "Opening: I Hope I Get It." Too many actors and actresses have arrived to compete for jobs in a chorus line in a Broadway production. Zach, the man who must chose the people who make the final cut, stuns the actors by requesting them to talk about themselves. This provides the premise for the rest of the music of the show. One by one the actors open up and share their life stories in song; and the music by Marvin Hamlisch enhances their songs greatly.

Several memorable stories told in song by the actors include "I Can Do That" in which Mike, performed by Wayne Cilento, tells about how he swiped his sister's dance shoes to race to a dance rehearsal; the beautiful ballad about escaping the heartache of real life at the theater entitled "At The Ballet" performed by Carole Bishop, Nancy Lane and Kay Cole; "Montage, Part 3: Gimme The Ball" performed by Michel Stuart and Ronald Dennis as Greg and Richie respectively; and "Dance: Ten; Looks Three" performed by Pamela Blair in the role of Val. Excellent!

Other numbers on this original cast recording deserve very special mention. "What I Did For Love" is delivered flawlessly by Priscilla Lopez and Company; in this song Priscilla's character Diana Morales sings beautifully of how she would have no regrets if she could never dance again. Priscilla Lopez also performs the memorable balled "Nothing" about how she simply did not profit from a course she took with an acting professor several years earlier.

The finale, a reprise of the smash number "One," features the cast singing together as polished professionals instead of the somewhat clumsy chorus line hopefuls they were before. I still remember feeling chills up and down my spine when I saw this number in the show at New York's Schubert Theater in 1979.

The liner notes have an excellent essay by Marc Kirkeby and the photos of the cast are a real treat. The notes indicate which actors performed each song and the artwork will impress you.

The sound is excellent even on my portable CD player. There is very little, if any, surface noise.

A Chorus Line represents a sophisticated look at the real lives of struggling actors and actresses. These people scramble for jobs in their chosen profession so that they can be happy and well fed at the same time. The catchy melodies by Marvin Hamlisch will delight you; and the lyrics by Edward Kleban display forethought and sheer brilliance.

I highly recommend this CD for fans of the theater and for people who love the outstanding music of Marvin Hamlisch. People who enjoy convincing exposés of the real lives of struggling actors will also enjoy this CD.

God, I hope you get it..........2006-11-28

I Just saw the new Broadway revival (which is fantastic), knew I had to give the original a re-listen, and have come to the conclussion that while it does not inspire deep thought or endeavor to change the world, A Chorus Line is a musical everyone, not just dancers and singers, can relate too. The central conceit of the show is the audience being invited to sit in on auditions for the dancing chorus of a broadway musical. Slowly the cast of hopeful auditionees dwindles to a victorious 8, who eventually earn roles and reveal much about their struggle for success. Yes, on the whole, it is a musical dancers will identify with, but it is not solely about dancing. A Chorus Line is about why and how we are able to do what we love. As we watch the audition play out on stage and hear the stories of the characters, one can't help but feel the same fear and pressure, and the cd masterfully captures the intimacy of "A Chorus Line".
A Chorus Line begins with the famous, pulse-pounding "GOD I HOPE I GET IT", where we hear the dancers inner thoughts while learning the choreography. This is a mostly danced number, but it is energetic, effecting and a brilliant opening.
More great numbers are "AT THE BALLET", which has three dancers taking down their "audition facades" and describing the therapy dance provided during troubled childhoods. The "MONTAGE" numbers are a funny mixture of painful, embarrassing, and entirely too real memories of teenage years. "DANCE 10, LOOKS 3" Is a hillarious yet sadly true song about the power of appearance. "WHAT I DID FOR LOVE" is one of the most original love songs of all time, about the sacrafices made not for the people we love, but for ourselves. It sumarizes the whole musical: Why we do what we do for the things we love.
The idea of A Chorus Line has become a little cliche after years and years of exposure and performance, but it is deffinately worth the praise it receives and fame it has accumilated. A must have for every lover of musical theatre.

a great musical.......2006-11-06

I enjoy listening to the original broaadway musical A Chorus Line. However I didnt realize I was purchasing the broadway version. I was actually looking for the film version.

Wonderful Music.......2004-06-13

This is one of my all time favorite latin jazz albums. It features wonderful vocals from Airto and Flora and of course amazing percussion from Airto. The supporting cast is equally strong with Kei Akagi on piano and the great Joe Farrell on saxophone. Kei Akagi is an amazing piano player who went on to play with Miles Davis. I use to see him with Stanley Turrentine and later saw him do a show with a nice quartet including Rick Margitza. Kei reminds me of Bill Evans or Allan Broadbent combined with McCoy Tyner, a very sweet combination. Of historical significance on this album, it was the last recording of Joe Farrell prior to him death. Joe Shines with his obviously Coltrane influenced soloing. This album is live and well recorded, the real deal.

THE WAY MUSIC SHOULD BE RECORDED!.......2001-01-29

This is a very moody album. There is hypnotic, smooth feeling to these tracks that is positively magical. The selections are eclectic, and there is something special in every piece. Track 1 begins with a fretless four-string acoustic bass and hand clapping, and builds into a colorful array of guitar and vocals. And what sonics! The entire recording was accomplished in Oxnard CA's civic auditorium-with a single mike! This creates a true sense of space around the musicians and singers. No electronic reverb here. You may not listen to this all the time, but it will grow on you. Turn off the lights and enjoy!
