Description
Seventeen Stories. Eight Chances. One Singular Sensation.
New York City. 1975. On an empty Broadway stage, seventeen performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical. For everyone present, it’s the chance of a lifetime. It’s the one opportunity to do what they’ve always dreamed of – to have the chance to dance… but only eight will make the cut.
Told through captivating song, riveting drama and stunning choreography, the auditionees describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers.
Based on real-life testimonies from late-night recording sessions with dancers, these are the lives of theatre’s unsung heroes, as they tell searing stories of ambition, shattered hopes, and what it really costs to follow your dreams.
A Chorus Line is a musical masterpiece that revolutionised Broadway, winning nine Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, the New York Critics’ Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Now celebrating 50 years since A CHORUS LINE first graced the Broadway stage, it is time experience a stunning new production full of heart, music and dance at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse.
- Directed by Joseph Meighan
- Musical Direction by Mark Goggins
- Choreographed by Louise Pettitt
Reviews
Described as "polished, passionate, and unforgettable"; the opening production of our 2025/26 Season 'A Chorus Line' has been awarded 5 STARS from NORTH WEST END UK.
"The creative team deserve immense credit. The lighting and sound were flawless, enhancing the minimalist staging with atmosphere and precision. Glittering costumes in the finale brought that Broadway dazzle, and the audience responded with thunderous applause and cheers.
Louise Pettitt’s choreography deserves high praise. Every number was tight, synchronised, and visually stunning".
"The musical backbone of the show came from Mark Goggins and his 14-piece live band, who played with energy, precision, and flair."
"A thoroughly enjoyable evening, delivered by a sensational cast and creative team. Quite simply, this ‘A Chorus Line’ was theatre at its very best – uplifting, heartfelt, and unforgettable."

"IT’S hard to believe this show is 50 years old. Despite its age, its power to move, amuse, entertain and exhilarate remains as strong as ever thanks to a sumptuous score and a very stirring dance finale that raised the roof at the Garrick on opening night."
"Unmissable, high quality entertainment."
