No you don't see movies like this or other's from the 80's...would be cool to see movies like you saw in 80's now...but unfortunately times they changing & the technology to film movies has changed.
I really love the way this is done. I feel like this perfectly encapsulates the ending. You learn all about these people and their stories, only for them to melt away into a group again. Adding the dancers in through the mirrors was amazing to watch.
I love it too. I don’t understand the negative comments. I saw the Broadway and this. I thought it was fun and well done. It was the 80s so it has the 80s vibe so sorry to people who never lived through the era.
I danced in high school and you can actually do this for an hour!!! But one has almost 10 percent body fat. When one is lighter the body is awesome as got more energy!! Love this movie as the kids and I watched it on VHS❤
I saw this this in the late 80s, probably about 16 at the time. The film totally got me and with this at the end. I am nearly 50 and it had stuck with all these years. Just brilliant!
I can't help but always feel enraptured by how fluid and poised every part of this choreograpy is whenever I watch this clip. To say I'm impressed is an understatement tbh
A classic. What I love about this scene is that even though it is a Chorus Line it has been filmed so you can hear each individual voice, without compromising the whole. Perfection.
This is truly on of my all time favourite musical numbers, the intricacy and precision is phenomenal. It's also one of the hardest numbers I've ever learned, those high kicks are an absolute killer but it's so much fun to do it's more than worth it
I was probably 3 or 4 when I saw this on a VHS along with my mom, who was a stage actress. I loved everything about the movie even though I was too young to understand what it was about. Being a tiny kid in Japan I didn't know where New York was, but I swore to myself I'd someday make it there. edit 9 months later: i got a job offer and will be moving to NYC in a couple of months. i completely forgot about this comment here and it's surreal to think that when i posted it i still had no idea if i'd be able to get the immigrant visa, and a job in NY. it's been such a long fight but i finally made it. To EVERYONE out there who is chasing the goals that seem unattainable--YOU WILL MAKE IT. Please don't give up. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Oh my gosh, congratulations! I've actually *also* moved to NYC recently, and it's amazing-I really hope it ends up being everything you've hoped for it to be.
Honestly, this is so wholesome. It’s so nice to see things like this in the comment section. Congratulations, I’m so happy for you and your dream being a reality!
Congrats! Have you moved there yet? My friend actually just moved to New York City a couple months ago too. I'm going to visit her in a week. It always takes a little time for me to adjust because I'm from the suburbs, but there's a ton of stuff to do. I'm seeing a Broadway show when I go, and I'm super excited! 😊
@@insertwittyname5649 Thank you!! Yes I moved about 1.5 months ago and settled in Brooklyn. I live close to the water, and when I take a walk at a nearby pier where I can see Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty, it makes me want to scream “I REALLY MADE IT!!!” It is an overwhelming joy and sense of accomplishment. I hope you’ll have ALOT of fun in the city! The energy is back and the weather is getting better by the day :)
A Chorus Line is a Broadway musical that debuted in 1975, with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban. It revolutionized musical theater with its innovative format, focusing on the personal stories and struggles of Broadway dancers auditioning for a spot in a chorus line. Set on a bare stage, the musical combines heartfelt monologues, dynamic choreography, and a stunning score, including the iconic number "One" and "What I Did for Love." The show was a massive success, running for over 6,000 performances and winning nine Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
I can’t enough of this scene!! Thank you sooo much. I watched A Chorus Line many years ago.. and I watch this as if it’s a song!! Thank you sooo much... I Love it!! 🥰
I always enjoy this when this scene pops up in my feed. After all these years, I just noticed that one of the female dancers slips , and recovers very nicely. It's at the 3:42 mark: she is located in the second row, third from the right.
I was 14 back then. Where did the America I loved go? Where are you now, and what are you doing? I feel nothing but nostalgic and sad. I’ve grown older. With love from Japan.
Seth mcfarlane has made a chorus line jokes multiple times in the earlier episodes of family guy and at least once for american dad (nick and cass, speak in english/dance 10 looks 3 parody). Bin laden singing i hope i get it at an airport and peter playing what i did for love on wine glasses come to mind.

@Sunday Girl Before you get that first job, that's exactly what you dream of -- just getting into a chorus line. As a dancer who worked for 25 years, but never did a Broadway show, believe me, I know. Stars are a different species, many of them never work in a chorus line to start with.
@@MrCrowebobby While that may be true, Michael Bennett specifically designed the ending to be bittersweet at best and certainly not considered a truly happy one in terms of "they got what they wished for so everything's great". A lot of the dancers in the audition are nearing the final years of their Broadway audition prospects and none of them can face answering the question Zach poses of what they will do when, like Paul, their careers as professional Broadway dancers eventually end, even as they acknowledge that it could happen at any time. After 2 hours of the audience getting to intimately know each of the 17 people standing on that line, only 8 of them leave with a job - a job that requires them to suppress all the individuality and bright personalities we've seen from them; they're only there to serve as living props to a star we don't even see. It may be enough for them but it's not enough for us and that's the entire point - every single person in a chorus line (both in the world of the show and in real life) is special and a dynamic individual who consistently sacrifices that for the chance to do what they love.
@@overlydramaticpanda All true, but don't forget I wrote - Before you get that first job . . . Of course you have the background bigger dream of stardom, but "God, I'd even play the maid . . ." is there before you get the first job. The pros and the newbies are different animals with different stories at this audition, I think. Great show in any case. Don Percassi and I took the same beginner tap class in 1953 at Jack Stanly's in New York; he went on to work on Broadway, I in Paris, Rome, and one show in Vegas. He was always a better dancer but we did basically the same thing. Still, I wish I could say I'd been in a Broadway Show . . . even in the chorus line.
@@MrCrowebobby Oh, don't get me wrong. As a performer myself I constantly dream of being on Broadway one day (likely to remain just a dream unfortunately), and besides that I know I get stir-crazy whenever I'm not in a show for a significant period of time. And I absolutely agree with the stance the characters (and the show as a whole) take on the whole situation: it's worth putting up with the all the crap of this kind of career to be able to even get a shot at doing what you love. I just can't separate it from the knowledge that the ending is intended to be seen as being incredibly bittersweet at best. It's awesome that you knew Don Percassi! I admit I've only seen a very very shoddy quality video of the original cast of the show but 'Sing!' and the accompanying scene was definitely a highlight. Though personally I'd say dancing in Vegas, Rome and Paris is certainly nothing to be sniffed at either, even if you never made it to Broadway. It really is often just the luck of the draw... Still, my sincere congratulations on what sounds like a good career!
When I was little I used this song to dance, all the end-of-the-year shows my teacher would put all the girls in the show, adults, girls, teenagers, to dance this number as the closing of the show after dancing several classics :) Listening to this makes me nostalgic for my childhood and pre-teens
"A Chorus Line" is a movie that could certainly benefit from a remake that corrects the horrific mistakes Sir Richard Attenborough made with the source material.
Pygmy Puff Because it wasn’t a patch on the stage version and in a bizarre decision by director Richard Attenborough he ditched most of Michael Bennett’s fabulous choreography. He also had the camera slice off the legs of the dancers for much of the time. You can just watch Hollywood musicals from the Golden Age and know not to do that.
"All That Jazz", directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, blows this out of the water. In fact, the choreography for this movie wouldn't exist without Fosse's widespread influence on the dance industry.
Okay, this is a book, so bail now if you're not interested. If only there was a phrase better than "absolutely amazing". I'm sure someone can outdo it, but maybe amazeballs? What fascinated me most about this is the sheer athleticism and talent of everyone involved in this production. Before I get to the performers though, I want to give a huge shout out to the production people. The costuming could be more perfect, and while scandalous back in the 80's, the ladies outfits are just nominal these days. But it is incredibly tasteful and they look just gorgeous. Another incredible part of this was the camera actions and locations. Keeping in mind this is from the 80's, they absolutely used the *bleep* out of the available technology. And the boom fade at the end was magical; better than a good drone can do (at least, right now). On the production quality alone, I would have guessed this was more late 90's early aughts. The synchronicity of the performers with the cameras was perfect, and even if they did multiple takes (I seriously doubt it), everyone working both in front of and behind the camera got their moments in flawlessly. Accolades for the performers need to be combined with the same for the casting director. I have been in musicals, before; Fiddler on the Roof and Brigadoon. Admittedly, they were high school musicals, but I was in choir, as well, so the singing part came naturally. What isn't so natural is running around on a stage dancing, and singing at the same time. I was also a swimmer, so I quickly got used to the rhythm of it, and didn't suffer as much after-performance gasping as some of my fellow thespians. What we did, athletically, in comparison to this performance is negligible. So, I understand the kind of shape you need to be in to dance like this AND sing. But wait, there's more! They can all not only kick their own noses, but a good number of them are hat jugglers as well! Here's where the kudos to the casting director and staff come in. It's difficult enough to recruit one performer who can do all those things. Even the dancers added at the end were kicking their noses and tossing their hats about like pros. Getting that much specific talent together had to be a monumental effort, and I applaud whatever geniuses were behind snagging them up! Oh, and you performers! Bravo, bravo!! No live performance is 100% flawless, but you all sure seemed to make it look that way. I still can't think of anything better than "amazeballs"! One of the things I really love about performances like this is the dancers actually have expressions that fit the scene. Everyone here knows exactly how to make love to the camera with their expressions, and it just tickles me to see that. So many performers these days kind of put on obvious plastic faces (at least, imho), and there is no sign of that here. I want to include makeup and all the artistry that goes into making a production like this. It's amazing how everyone blends together so well, which is a difficult task. I know you're the "wind beneath the wings" folks, and the quality of your workmanship is obvious. In short, I was pretty dumbstruck by how awesome this performance was, on many levels. I wish I could thank every one of those performers personally. Yeah, that amazing!
Still shocks me to this day that the music teacher in High School Musical was in this movie (the red head, I forgot her name). They all did amazing. I wish I could dance this well so I can get a role in this musical
So my high school musical theatre class as of this comment has just finished our first night of two of our Cabaret entitled, "Playbill Playback" and this was the song they used for the curtain call. And it felt so amazing after our finisher song of "Too Darn Hot" from Kiss me Kate. Our opener is of course "I Hope I Get It".
I've seen this movie more times than I can count and saw it in the theater in Germany shortly after it was first released. I still love it and know all of the songs. I was a bit disappointed when I saw an off-broadway show of the musical. I expected this same finale -- it didn't happen. But still it was ONE SINGULAR SENSATION!!!
"And, I usually awake to the song "One Singular Sensation" from "A Chorus Line" as it is the most optimistic song ever written." - Virtually yours, Patrick Bateman
High Kicks for a solid 40 seconds in unison. Amazing. You don't get stuff like that in the movies anymore.
You don`t get any classical stuff in todays movies anymore !!
In what kind of movie, other than a musical about being in musicals, would it make sense to have high kicks for 40 seconds?

The problem is that they removed "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen", made Richie straight and that awful "Surprise, Surprise". Bleah.
Insightful. I enjoy your thoughts on this. You’re each one has to stand out and be noticed but in the end they blend together.
Christann Zaubi,
What was it like to see it live?
Oh man, the choreography, singing, the dancing, the talent- it’s all so breathtaking!!! That mirror part really got me teary!
Yes, felt the same. Makes you want to cry. Hard to explain why really.
takes my breath away, hard work
17 in a row; 6 deep!!!! To this day it's amazing, wonderful, and astounding. They even gave each dancer's name in the credits!!!! CLASS ACT!!!!

I adore the use of the mirrors just watching these individuals really blend into one

My favorite musical, along with "Anything Goes". Micheal Douglas and Audrey Landers are awesome!
You realize Audrey wasn’t in a lot of dance numbers? Just close ups. She had a double or just mysteriously wasn’t on stage (surprise surprise)
I grew up watching this movie, I played it over and over 😭
Same❤❤❤❤❤
THE BEST MUSICAL I've see in NYC. With my mom.1985.3 times
This was and will always be the definitive moment of every Broadway Musical. You don’t ever forget this moment.
This was such a great movie. The musical numbers are so memorable. I was 6 years old and couldn't get enough of this. It's even better now!

Before I get to the performers though, I want to give a huge shout out to the production people. The costuming could be more perfect, and while scandalous back in the 80's, the ladies outfits are just nominal these days. But it is incredibly tasteful and they look just gorgeous. Another incredible part of this was the camera actions and locations. Keeping in mind this is from the 80's, they absolutely used the *bleep* out of the available technology. And the boom fade at the end was magical; better than a good drone can do (at least, right now).
On the production quality alone, I would have guessed this was more late 90's early aughts. The synchronicity of the performers with the cameras was perfect, and even if they did multiple takes (I seriously doubt it), everyone working both in front of and behind the camera got their moments in flawlessly.
Accolades for the performers need to be combined with the same for the casting director. I have been in musicals, before; Fiddler on the Roof and Brigadoon. Admittedly, they were high school musicals, but I was in choir, as well, so the singing part came naturally. What isn't so natural is running around on a stage dancing, and singing at the same time. I was also a swimmer, so I quickly got used to the rhythm of it, and didn't suffer as much after-performance gasping as some of my fellow thespians. What we did, athletically, in comparison to this performance is negligible. So, I understand the kind of shape you need to be in to dance like this AND sing. But wait, there's more! They can all not only kick their own noses, but a good number of them are hat jugglers as well!
Here's where the kudos to the casting director and staff come in. It's difficult enough to recruit one performer who can do all those things. Even the dancers added at the end were kicking their noses and tossing their hats about like pros. Getting that much specific talent together had to be a monumental effort, and I applaud whatever geniuses were behind snagging them up!
Oh, and you performers! Bravo, bravo!! No live performance is 100% flawless, but you all sure seemed to make it look that way. I still can't think of anything better than "amazeballs"! One of the things I really love about performances like this is the dancers actually have expressions that fit the scene. Everyone here knows exactly how to make love to the camera with their expressions, and it just tickles me to see that. So many performers these days kind of put on obvious plastic faces (at least, imho), and there is no sign of that here.
I want to include makeup and all the artistry that goes into making a production like this. It's amazing how everyone blends together so well, which is a difficult task. I know you're the "wind beneath the wings" folks, and the quality of your workmanship is obvious.
In short, I was pretty dumbstruck by how awesome this performance was, on many levels. I wish I could thank every one of those performers personally. Yeah, that amazing!

Still shocks me to this day that the music teacher in High School Musical was in this movie (the red head, I forgot her name). They all did amazing. I wish I could dance this well so I can get a role in this musical
Outstanding! This brings me so much joy. 🤩
Simplemente majestuoso , maravilloso una obra de arte
I like the way while they sing together and my choir will sing too
So my high school musical theatre class as of this comment has just finished our first night of two of our Cabaret entitled, "Playbill Playback" and this was the song they used for the curtain call. And it felt so amazing after our finisher song of "Too Darn Hot" from Kiss me Kate. Our opener is of course "I Hope I Get It".
I've seen this movie more times than I can count and saw it in the theater in Germany shortly after it was first released. I still love it and know all of the songs. I was a bit disappointed when I saw an off-broadway show of the musical. I expected this same finale -- it didn't happen. But still it was ONE SINGULAR SENSATION!!!
Great song. Great performance.
Still gives me goosebumps!
Bob Fosse...GENIUS!! Chorus Line, all that Jazz, Chicago, Cabaret. THE BEST!!
I love it!! In the end THEY ALL MADE IT!! makes me cry every time!!! And you get to see the 4 boys and 4 girls. BRILL.

フィナーレのONE、
最初に合格した8人から始まって、途中から、落選したけど最終選考に残った9人が加わる(足を怪我したポールが再登場したところで涙が出てしまった😭)演出が好きです。
後半で、鏡を使ってモブダンサーがどんどん倍増してきますが、ということはこの中にバレエが踊れなくてザックから『踊るな！！』と怒鳴られた黄色いトランクスの子とか、『ガムを噛むな』と言われてガムを耳に詰めた子とかも、よく目を凝らして探してみるといるのかな？
