One of the most requested shows by Clackamas Rep patrons, A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical that captures the spirit and tension of a Broadway audition. This Pulitzer Prize and multiple Tony Award-winning production explores the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional performers, featuring one powerhouse number after another. A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance and compellingly authentic drama, A Chorus Line is a must-see musical classic.

“One of Broadway’s all-time greats, with more kick than most other shows combined.” – Time Out New York

“The starling simplicity of this show still impresses … The show suggests that theatre is both a metaphor for life and a way of escaping it, and there is something genuinely moving about the way it gives an individual voice to performers who are normally just part of an anonymous ensemble.” – The Telegraph

“…one of those musicals you will sing about to your grandchildren. It is an occasion of joy, and affirmation of Broadway and a smoke-signal to the world that the musical can touch unexpected depths in the human heart.” – The New York Times

Sponsored by Jim Osterman, Karen and Brian Comstock, Daphne and Tim Wuest.
