It was one of the greatest times in all of theatre history! I was so lucky to be there.

Heartbreaking for what was to come so soon, yet this thrilling moment is captured. One of the best shows ever from a time now forgotten.

most certainly the greatest day of Bennett's life. I've heard that Michael Bennett's rise to prominence with A Chorus Line angered Bob Fosse, who at the time was the king of choreography. And considering Bob Fosse was overall a more famous choreographer/director, and that he was quite a bit older than Bennett, winning two tony awards over Fosse must have been the most amazing feeling for the then young Michael Bennet

A Chorus Line was a show built from the hearts and minds of true legitimate artists and performers and not from their egos. That is why ACL appealed to so many for so long. It deserved a better movie and perhaps one day it will get a remake. There will always be a special place in my heart for A Chorus Line and what it represents.

The nominees for Best Director of a Musical are Michael Bennett, Bob Fosse, Stephen Sondheim, and some kid in the audience two rows back from Harold Prince, who we will finally find about one second before cutting away from him.

He had such a casual, laid-back sex appeal.

That 'chick in the Easter bonnet' was no chick but Bonnie Franklin - a Broadway fixture in her own right and later star of the long running sit-com 'One Day at a Time'; also, wide brimmed floppy hats with a dome crown were something of a 'casual glamour' statement in the mid-70s: an allusion to the lines of the 1930s mixed with the earthy 'child of nature with no hang ups' ease of the period. This was also the Tony Awards, not the Oscars - stage actors tend to lean to idiosyncratic flourishes and eccentrities. Though not the most chic of looks for the time, the hat is tuned to Franklin's overall persona: bouncy, sunny and just a little bit intense. Hope I have offered some enlightenment that sensibility of the past rarely if ever is that of our present - as our present will one day be the past and we will be asked if in absentia - 'What were you thinking?'

Why did Donna who was on left of aisle when Bob A. and Michael B won THEN was sitting 2nd seat on right next to Bennett when he got Director? Strange.

there is an enormous amount of seat shifting during awards shows - people win awards, are back stage for awhile, extras fill their seats so there are no gaps in the house, etc. etc. not strange at all to see people drift to new seats
