A Cardinia-based theatre group is bringing one singular sensation to Cranbourne this month.
Featuring iconic top hats, the classic musical A Chorus Line is set to wow audiences at the Cranbourne Community Theatre from Saturday 20 August.
CPAC Musical Theatre performers have been working hard on the show since 2021, after it was postponed just two weeks before opening night due to Covid-19 lockdowns.
The musical, first debuting on Broadway in 1975, features dancers during a Broadway audition who describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers.
The show is a reflection of what it is like to be a dancer and the trials and tribulations of a career in the arts, featuring beloved songs like I Can Do That, What I Did for Love and One.
Co-director, choreographer and costume designer Scott Hili said the show was a favourite among theatre lovers because it was created from real life interviews of Broadway performers in the ‘70s.
“The history of the show is quite universal, the feelings, thoughts and emotions resonate with the cast members and dancers we’ve got,” Scott said.
“It really is quite a genius concept for the time.”
A Chorus Line is CPAC Musical Theatre’s second production of its 20th anniversary year and features new and returning CPAC performers.
Performance dates are 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 August and 2 and 3 September.
