A fascinating and rare vintage documentary tracing the final weeks of the original Broadway production of legendary multi-award-winning musical juggernaut A CHORUS LINE is now available to view in full.
A CHORUS LINE: FINAL STAGE boasts extensive onstage and offstage footage of the iconic Michael Bennett musical, showcasing clips from the original cast in 1975 all the way through to a tantalizingly glimpse of the show's closing performance in 1990.
Additionally, many notable stars and featured players from the production over its many years are highlighted in the expansive documentary, as well, including Tony Award winners Donna McKechnie and Thommie Walsh along with Priscilla Lopez, Baayork Lee, Joe Papp and many more.
Of note, the documentary originally premiered on Japanese TV and therefore contains narration in the native language, nevertheless never distracting from the riveting performance footage, behind the sceenes clips and interviews presented within it.
Alas, perhaps it really was impossible for the show to run forever after all, but what a dazzling way to go out thanks to this informative doc!
