Every Little Step -- a portrait of the struggle to achieve a dream as seen through the mounting of the smash Broadway show, "A Chorus Line" -- arrived on DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment October 13. The Sony Pictures Classics documentary captures the magic of the show by following auditions and casting of the successful 2006 stage revival, while at the same time exploring the history of A Chorus Line, from late director/choreographer Michael Bennett's ground-breaking concept of inviting Broadway chorus performers to tell their real stories, to the show becoming an international phenomenon from the 1970s through the 1990s.
The film features interview footage with Broadway legends Bob Avian, Michael Bennett, Jacques & Charlotte d'Amboise, Baayork Lee, Marvin Hamlisch and Donna McKechnie, to name a few. Life imitates art in Every Little Step which was chosen as an official selection at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, 2008 Berlin Film Festival and 2009 New Directors/New Films and subsequently won high praise from critics. The film was directed and produced by Tony Award® winning James D. Stern ("Stomp," "Hairspray") and Adam Del Deo (So Goes the Nation, The Year of Yao).
The Sony Pictures Classics film is available on DVD for $28.96 SRP.
