There is no denying the extreme talent of the A CHORUS LINE cast. Director Brad Blake, choreographer Diana Deaver, music director Mark Ceppetelli, and assistant director Steve Belli combine their talents to help bring out the best in this first-rate ensemble cast! The hard work and dedication of all people involved is evident, with the entire cast bringing their A game to this show! They all have excellent stage chemistry with each other, a strong stage presence, and clearly enjoy performing. The synchronicity in dancing is breathtaking, enhanced by the impact of real mirrors as the back stage wall, creating the illusion of twice the dancers being on stage.

One-person productions are typically autobiographical: the performer teaches the audience about themself, as themself. But this seemingly “direct” approach is often not actually revealing, where an artist performs a ritualized series of autobiographical anecdotes that fit into the form’s genre conventions. In touring production Frida…a self-portrait, now playing at Union Arts Center, the artist subverts the one-person show form by adding a layer, indirectly telling the story of the performer through the experiences of another artist: the surrealist portraitist Frida Kahlo. This new show asks, can we better understand one artist by telling the story of another?
