The result? A briskly self-aware, thoroughly stage-struck portrait of a theatrical portrait.Ī Chorus Line, remember, began as a workshop in which choreographer Michael Bennett recorded 22 Broadway dancers talking about their lives as dancers.Īudiotapes of those discussions were then shaped by Bennett - along with librettists James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, lyricist Ed Kleban and composer Marvin Hamlisch - into a paean to the usually unsung kids in the Broadway chorus. Centred on seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for spots on a chorus line, the musical is set on the bare stage of a Broadway theatre during an audition. Stern shot some 500 hours of footage at both cattle calls and callbacks for the 2006 Broadway revival of A Chorus Line, then combined glimpses of those "God, I hope I get it" tryouts with interviews and snippets of archival footage of the singular sensation that started it all.

Broadway groupies get a chance to trip down a theatrical rabbit hole in Every Little Step - a movie about auditioning for a musical. Sindh is one of the four province of Pakistan and Sindhi topi or hat is famous for its cultural value and each year sindhi people celebrate this day as topi or hat day by dancing and wearing traditional dress.
