Beck Center for the Arts Goes Pitter-Pat With A Chorus Line

Lakewood, OH–Beck Center for the Arts is pleased to dance their way into your summer with A Chorus Line.

A Chorus Line is THE 1975 musical, with music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, book by James Kirkwood, Jr., and Nicholas Dante. Beck Center for the Arts’ A Chorus Line is directed and choreographed by Christopher Chase Carter, assistant choreographed by Liz Conway, with musical direction by David Robison.

Director and choreographer Christopher Chase Carter says, "Working on A Chorus Line for the fourth time—and during its 50th anniversary year—feels like coming home. This show has always reminded me why we do what we do as artists: for the love, the struggle, the truth and the joy of telling stories. I'm incredibly grateful to return to Beck Center and share this production with such a passionate, powerhouse cast. I truly believe they’re going to blow audiences away." This musical is the seventh longest-running Broadway show, ever. A Chorus Line's success has spawned many successful productions worldwide. It began a lengthy run in the West End in 1976. It was revived on Broadway in 2006, and in the West End in 2013, and in 2007 won a Tony Award Best Revival of a Musical. Picture a bare stage, and all your dreams of Broadway lay before you. This time, you “gotta get it,” in honor of the 50th anniversary of a Broadway favorite.
