A CHORUS LINE - Presentation At The Cameri Theater!

The musical A CHORUS LINE is coming to Israel in a huge production of the Cameri Theater with a cast of 20 actors, singers and dancers including Maya Dagan, Dana Frieder and Yehezkel Lazarov!

9 days before this production opens (22.3.18) the Cameri Theater held a presentation earlier today with some musical numbers from this musical.
A Chorus Line tells the story of anonymous dancers and actors who strive to succeed in the showbiz industry, everyone and their own personal story. They audition for a part in the chorus line, hoping to get through each stage of the audition process.

Throughout the day more and more people are eliminated and the competition gets harder. Eventually, about a dozen dancers must compete for a few spots, everyone hopes to impress the director with their dancing skills.
But, is this really what the director is looking for?

The wonderful choreography was created by Oz Morag, the musical direction by Amir Lakner, and the translation by Eli Bijaoui who has the amazing ability to translate any international play into Hebrew in a perfect and fluent way.
The performance of the actors was charming. The singers, dancers and actors show their passion for the theater in every second. They're Amazing and captivating!

Tsedi Sarfati, the director, told us that working on this musical was challenging. This musical is not easy and it's different from all the other musicals, he said. "You have 17 main actors that you have to work with individually. Everyone has a monologue, each one has to create his character. It was not easy, but the result was fantastic. There is a dominant ensemble here."

Maya Dagan told us about her role and said that six months before the rehearsals began she took dance lessons to get into this role. "It's Broadway in Israel. There is no doubt that this musical is magical, unique and has everything in it".

In conclusion - the musical A Chorus Line is going to be a huge hit! There is no doubt that the Cameri Theatre and the wonderful director Tsedi Sarfati did a great job.
My advice - buy tickets now!
