Blown away right here. There is hope for the world that a high school drama department had the balls to do this show. The kids are amaaaaaaazing; their faculty director/producer must be a truly gifted human being.

The people saying this is "terrible" are ridiculous. Yes, it IS a high school production. I don't know many High Schools that are capable of putting on a production with quality such as this. The amount of talent in this school is RIDICULOUS. And a show such as Chorus Line - in general should never be done in a high school, because it's really challenging, plus the adult nature of the show. But the entire group approached the material so strongly you can't help but just sit back and watch. In particular, Jessica Bezek, Zac Fletcher, and Izzy Gervasoni really impressed me. With work and commitment, they have strong careers ahead of them if they choose.

For the people who are full of criticism why do you waste your time and energy. This is an amateur performance. If it was Broadway one might wonder. In fact it is a credible production and an heroic effort for a school in an America that has pretty much dumped any cultural curriculum in the education system. Music, Art once were standard in every Public school in america, beginning in elementary school. That has pretty much disappeared. So bravo to the students, teachers and all faculty who have supported this effort.

Five minutes in and I was being pretty internally judgey about the production, but you make a good point. If these are high school students, well then good on them for even trying. This is a very dance-heavy show, that is supposed to be dancers of the highest level competing for a few precious roles in a new dance production. In New York. On Broadway. So this was very brave of high school kids to do.

When we left that theater, I knew what all the fuss was about! The "lady in red" (with the history with the director) - I have NEVER seen anyone dance like that before. Ever. My boss is from NY (actually, his address is 2211 Broadway - Upper West Side - The Apthorp) and he knows that actress/dancer. When she came out for her curtain call, the place just went berserk! I kind of felt bad for the rest of them - because they were all fantastic.

People who are being critical obviously haven't been to many high school productions. This is a very difficult show and these students did very well. They weren't perfect, but I'd like to see most people try to pull this off. I thought they were convincing and very entertaining. Yes, the mikes were very distracting. Camouflage them in flesh tone or hide them in hair pieces. I wanted to do this show so badly when it first came out, but it was too expensive to obtain the rights. It was also deemed too R-rated for a high school in those days. I did get to dance in "One Singular Sensation " in a variety show, however. Toughest number I ever did, but it turned out pretty well. The crowd loved it.

@SissyFlower5 8 жыл бұрын

+HistoryMovieCritic The dancing wasn't prefect, but for a high school production it was actually extremely impressive! Dancing is almost always one of the weakest parts of high school shows, since they don't usually specifically audition dancers, just actors and singers. So you end up with a lot of kids with no dance training whatsoever. In most high school shows I've been to, the dancing consisted of jazz squares and maybe some kicks. The choreography they pulled off, by that standard, is unbelievable!

I've seen my share of good high school productions and bad ones. A Chorus Line is a challenging show, even for professionals. This production was one that could rank way up there as outstanding. For those who can't find anything good to say, remember that these are high school students who are in school all day and likely spent all of their free time rehearsing. The quality of this performance is exceptional, the talent superb and the orchestra all were on point. I've seen this show on Broadway and at universities. This high school production is just as good. Paul's monologue especially stood out. For the few imperfections noted, the overall tone and enthusiasm more than made up for them. Congratulations cast and crew! You've done your school proud.

I'm amazed they could find that many boys willing to dance; guess things have changed since I was in High School 60 years ago. The guy who kept staring at his feet was a nice touch; there's always a dancer who can't break that habit. I studied at the largest and perhaps best known dance school in New York back in the 50's (Jack Stanly's) and Jack always said it took 7 years to produce a dancer, so it's ridiculous to compare this production to the Broadway show. (Yes, there are the Mozarts who are exceptions to the rule.) This is a really good effort at a very challenging show.

Your timing for comedy was uncanny!!! I loved watching you during the quiet moments. you stayed true to your character. Good Job. I played Al in the show so I watched Russell Nicolson play the character. I must be just a hair more critical about him as it was my character... that is not to say that I did not enjoy your portrayal - I did. Bryan Hill, you were one of my favorites in this production. Loved your "I Can Do That". You played the Italian Mike Costa like a pro. Davis Warren , your Zack was superub!!! My boy Sidney Kenneth Beckenstein...you rocked!!! Don Kerr - great vocal rendition. Loved your monoloug before the montage. I would be terribly remissed if I did not mention Andres Moledo - Paul San Marco. You were amazing! Your delivery of the Paul Monoloug touched my heart.

Now, if you've got a state championship football game (or band competition) going on . . . we're all over it! LOL! But I'm not sure the high school here even has a drama dept.

There's people who are confused about the the mics on the actors' foreheads: that technique is standard Broadway/off-Broadway/professional miking. I use this technique all the time. It gives a great capture of voices without the irritation of actors accidentally rubbing or hitting the mic when they touch their face. Given the fact the mics that I use have different skin color element cables to hide it more so than a black mic on a white person.

Great production for a high school. The set, costumes, and choreography are all exactly like the original Broadway production. Kudos! Just one puzzling question: How come the only Asian chick wasn't cast as Connie Wong, the only Asian character in the show, and instead was cast with a white actress? The Asian chick sounded like she had a good voice at 3:18.

@TheReginaldDwight 4 жыл бұрын

This is just my opinion. I do not know any of these young and talented people. I have watched this performance several times now and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. I think the reason the only Asian chick wasn't cast as Connie Wong was because that little white girl who did play "Connie Mackenzie" was probably the best dancer in the entire cast and it would have been a waste of her talent not to give her one of the featured roles. I actually would have liked to see her play "Cassie;" I'm sure she was a better dancer than the girl who played Cassie. I think because her diminutive size, however, the obvious role for her was "Connie."

For high school , this has got to be the best production I have seen of this or any musical.

I thought the same thing about Connier...But, The production is admirable.A few were really good. But many went flat, often! With that sasid do not think my high school could have ever pulled it off

If you were talking about the girl stretching at the piano at 3:10 I'm pretty sure she's too tall.

This is just my opinion. I do not know any of these young and talented people. I think the reason they made Connie white was because that little girl who played her is the single best dancer in the production and it would have been a waste of her talent not to use her in one of the featured roles.

I always find it funny when high schools put on ACL. Especially when they start singing Hello 12, hello 13...and that's their actual age.

My point is that the lyrics are meant for much older adults to look back at their first sexual encounters and puberty. Most of these performers are in the middle of that to be singing like they remember "how it was". This show's themes are nothing they have experienced yet.

Hannah Lee mics on the foreheads is common practice in Broadway/off-Broadway/Summer stock theatre. It may look obnoxious, but there’s many reasons behind it.

That's what you'll see on every professional stage. Bear in mind the audience are nowhere near as close as the camera is getting so the mics won't be visible.
