The Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical A Chorus Line opens tonight at The Bushnell, running through Sunday, March 29! Did you know these cool facts about the show?
* Each cast member kicks his or her legs a total of 36 times (18 kicks each
leg) in the final kick line of the show.
* The only full costume change in the entire show is for the Finale. This
costume for the men is a single jumpsuit â pants, shirt and vest all sewn
together â with one zipper. This enables them to step in, zip up, add
socks, shoes, jacket and hat and immediately return to the stage for the
curtain call and final number.
* The men keep the battery packs for their microphones in a pouch just
below their waist.
* Robyn Hurder (Cassie) sprays Modern Organic Products G System Firm
Finish hairspray on her posterior before each performance to prevent the
infamous red leotard costume she wears from riding up during the âMusic
and the Mirrorâ dance.
* Mop ânâ Glo is the product of choice applied to the stage floor before each
performance to reduce the stickiness so the dancers can move properly.

Great show last night! This was my first time seeing A Chorus Line, besides the movie, and I loved it.
I think that "Sheila" should have used the same stuff Robyn (Cassie) did on her posterior so her costume didn't ride up throughout the whole show though.
And why didn't Robyn (Cassie) sing for some of the numbers? There were a couple of songs in the beginning and at least 1 near the end where she wasn't singing but the rest of the cast was.

We loved the show and loved The Bushnell theater and how easy it was to get too. The free parking and how clean the area is kept up makes you want to come back in the future. We usually go to Boston, but after our experience at the Bushnell, we will be back. Back to the show "A Chorus Line", we loved it and thought the cast did a great job. I've told many people what a great show and theater it was.

We saw the show on Saturday night and absolutely loved it!!!!! I am not really a dancer in any terms. (I dance a little in the shows I'm in, but not extreme dancing) The whole time I was thinking to myself about my friends that are dancers and want to be dancers later on in their life and then I realized this is a show that is a must see if you want to dance in any capacity for the rest of your life. The only problem I had with the show was I saw it on Saturday Night and didn't have a large enough window to force my dancer friends to go see it. I also had one other complaint: that was that there was no intermission, so I couldn't go and buy more merchandise. We run out to the stage door for every show so there is not merchandise shopping at the end. Oh! and that reminds me, almost the whole cast signed our Prompters which made me really happy because there are shows when most people just blow you off. This was not one of those shows. I loved it. I wish it was at the Bushnell longer so more people could have seen it!
