Shore Thing Productions’ “A CHORUS LINE” Opens September 16

The TONY Award and Pulitzer Prize winning musical, “A CHORUS LINE” will be presented at the Tower Theatre from September 16-25 for eight performances.

“A CHORUS LINE” is an American musical theatre classic, having originally played on Broadway for 15 years and over 6,000 performances. It is a brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song, and compellingly authentic drama.

The story focuses on an audition for a Broadway musical and is told through poignant, as well as humorous, stories shared by seventeen dancers who really want, and need, the job. Ultimately, only eight will be chosen. The stories, based on interviews with real-life aspiring actors are universal and are at the center of a show that is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration

The music, written by Academy Award winner Marvin Hamlisch, includes such songs as “I Hope I Get It”, “At the Ballet”, “What I Did For Love”, “Dance: Ten; Looks: Three”, and “One”.

“A CHORUS LINE” at the Tower Theatre is being directed by Broadway veteran Michael Heaton, with choreography by Michelle Mejaski of Gotta Dance Studio in Bend. Eileen Heaton is overseeing the vocal and music direction. Central Oregon Symphony Maestro Michael Gesme will be conducting an orchestra of 15 musicians. A centerpiece of the production will be the original Broadway costumes by TONY Award winning designer Theoni V. Aldredge.

Shore Thing Productions’ “A CHORUS LINE” will be presented by The Tower Theatre Foundation as a part of the theatre’s popular Marquee Series. Tickets for the show are currently on sale and available by calling the Tower Theatre box office (541-317-0700) or visiting the theatre’s web site (www.towertheatre.org).
