Fifty Years Ago Tonight, "A Chorus Line" Began The First Of Its 15 Year Run Performances On Broadway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          History is spinning through the air at The Shubert Theatre tonight.  It was half a century ago--and I am here to prove it, darlings-- that "A Chorus Line" opened at The Shubert Theatre--and Broadway has never been the same.

                              What can be said that has not been already?  The Original Cast became legends, the show revolutionized dance, and there is not a dancer practicing today, who, in some form or another, has done the show!

                                 If a performance were playing somewhere in the Metropolitan area, I would be running to see it.  How I wish my dancing ability was good enough to have done the show.

                                 But the most important thing about this night-- 

                           Fifty years ago, tonight, Donna McKechnie became The Greatest Showstopper In Broadway History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And she still is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            I wish "A Chorus Line" another fifty years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
