A Chorus Line to return with UK tour and London run
The Broadway hit is back!
Sadler’s Wells and Jonathan Church Theatre Productions have announced that Curve’s smash hit production of the Broadway musical A Chorus Line will return in 2024, playing at Curve from 28th June to 13th July 2024, with a Summer run at Sadler’s Wells from 31st July to 25th August and a UK Tour.
The musical takes place on an empty Broadway stage in 1975 during the audition process for a new musical. The audition takes a surprising turn when the show's director, Zach, invites the auditioning performers to open up and tell their stories about what brought them to theatre.
Reprising their roles from the 2021 run will be Adam Cooper as Zach and Carly Mercedes Dyer as Cassie. Full casting will be announced soon.
This production was originally staged at Curve, Leicester in Christmas 2021, and is directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (West Side Story, Billy Elliot the Musical, Curve) and choreographed by Ellen Kane (Matilda the Musical, Netflix, Legally Blonde, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre). A Chorus Line features set design by Grace Smart (Hamlet, The Globe), costume design by Edd Lindley (Billy Elliot the Musical, Curve), lighting design by Howard Hudson (& Juliet, Broadway, West End, Australia) and sound design by Tom Marshall (Grease, Dominion Theatre). The show’s orchestra will be supported by music licensing company, PPL.
A Chorus Line tour dates:
The UK tour will visit The Lowry in Salford 23rd to 27th July, Norwich Theatre Royal 27th to 31st August, The Marlowe in Canterbury 2nd to 7th September, Birmingham Hippodrome 10th to 14th September, New Theatre, Cardiff, 16th to 21st September, Edinburgh Festival Theatre 24th to 28th September and Wycombe Swan 30th September – 5th October.
