The Monticello Opera House presents A Chorus Line, the seventh longest running Broadway Show of all time, on stage from June 21-30. Look inside the lives of 17 Broadway dancers, all auditioning for coveted spots on a chorus line. Celebrate these unsung heroes of the musical theatre – the chorus dancers – valiant, over-dedicated, underpaid and highly trained troopers who back up the stars and often make them look more talented than they are. What does it take to win and what motivates them to work so hard? A Chorus Line captures the true spirit and tension of Broadway. A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance and compellingly authentic drama. For times, dates and ticket information call (850) 997-4242.
