Free Music Notes for A Chorus Line (1975 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: One Of The Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
"A Chorus Line" was the first Broadway production I ever saw ... and I was immediately "hooked". Even today, the musical ranks as one of my favorites!
While the staging & plot are simple, the score provides an intimate look inside the audition process and lives of the people vying for the few chorus slots of an upcoming show.
Best Tracks include:
I Hope I Get It [great opening number]
At The Ballet
Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love
Dance: Ten, Looks: Three [the show's big "T&A" number]
The Music & The Mirror [Tony-winner Donna McKechnie's big solo dance number]
What I Did For Love [one of the best eleven o'clock numbers ever]
One [the classic that doesn't escape you]
Get familiar (or reacquainted) with the show that "saved" theatre & its incredible music!

Hit: 5 Stars
The star of A Chorus Line was always Michael Bennett's choreography, but it's nearly impossible to tell it's missing from this stellar recording. Featuring the irreplaceable and unquestionably perfect original cast, this recording is essential in every cast recording library, and is a wonderful representation of the show. Though not all of the material in the show is included on the CD (though some has been restored for the remastered recording), there is a large selection of truly fine classic musical material here. Songs like "One" and "What I Did For Love" leap off the CD and straight into your heart or feet as appropriate. A Chorus Line has always been "one singular sensation," and short of a time machine to take you back to 1975 to see the original cast, there's no better way to experience the show.Free Music Review: the original and still the best!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the peerless original cast of A CHORUS LINE, the legendary Broadway musical which opened in 1975 and ended up running for fifteen years and 6,137 performances. The cast, largely made of unknowns and up-and-comers, is still amazing. Donna McKechnie is a revelation as Cassie, belting out "The Music and the Mirror" like nobody's business, Priscilla Lopez is still the definitive Diana Morales with her dynamic "Nothing" and "What I Did for Love". Kelly Bishop, Nancy Lane and Kay Cole sing the angst-ridden, beautifully-bittersweet "At the Ballet". The Marvin Hamlisch-Edward Kleban score fairly crackles with excitement and boundless energy. This is still the best of the bunch.Free Music Review: AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!
Hit: 5 Stars
It's one of the finest soundtracks for a B'way musical I've ever heard. The CD captures the best moments of the show including some songs that will live forever such as "What I Did for Love", "One" and "I Hope I Get It". I've seen the play three times: twice in B'way and once in London (very good but not as good as the B'way version at the Shubert). It's one of those shows that remain forever in your mind and heart and that you know for certain it's a great classic of all times. No collectors of B'way shows can miss this one: it's a MUST, in capital letters.Free Music Review: SEE THE SHOW FIRST!
Hit: 5 Stars
To be perfectly honest, this recording will mean close to nothing unless you see the show first. Don't get me wrong, the songs were written well enough to stand on their own, but they won't mean anything unless you know the story. This musical deals with subjects like: love, puberty, homosexuals, plastic surgery, and unemployment. All of these subjects discussed at an audition for a dance chorus! What an inventive story! And this show has the number "ONE" finale of any broadway show out their! See the show then listen to the cd. Enjoy!
