Can You Believe Today Has Been Fifty Years???????????????

                            Yes, girls, a half century ago, a group of people walked in and sat down in the Newman Theatre at the Public to see something never shown before.

                            It turned out to be the first public performance of "A Chorus Line."

                             With that now legendary Original Company--Donna, Kelly, Priscilla, Pam, Sammy, and others!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Imagine being in that audience.  The roof must have blown off the Newman, and the audience must have been staggered by what they saw.

                                  As have countless audiences since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Having witnessed at least 40 different performances of this show, I can call myself a maven.

                                   And I have thought about this day for years.  What I always wanted was for the surviving members of the Original Cast to do a special live performance.  It will not happen today, but maybe later this year.

                                   Something must be done to commemorate the stature of this lasting show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    Happy 50th Anniversary to "A Chorus Line."

                                    Wishing you 50 more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
