So, I went and saw A Chorus Line on Broadway last night. A Chorus Line is my favorite show and when I talked to people who had seen it, they all gave a ho hum review, not very impressed. Well, I LOVED it. I thought it was fantastic. Exactly the show that I wanted it to be. They did all the original stuff and even kept the time of 1975, I was curious to see if they would update it, they didn't and it worked!! We saw the understudies for Bobby and Diana. The girl that played Diane was Awesome!! So good. I also loved the Val and Kristine, so funny!! Paul's monologue which I usually don't get that into made me cry, he wasn't delivering a monologue, it was so real like you were there with him - brilliant!! However, Charlotte d'Amboise's performance of Cassie was thumbs down. She was nominated for a Tony - what??? The woman can't sing, watching her vocal technique made me question how she got the job, let alone how she has been working on Broadway for years. Also, I was ready to forgive once she started her dance, but she just threw her body around and never finished any lines. Disappointing. That, however, is only about 15 minutes of the play, so overall it is forgiveable!! If you get the chance, go see it!!
