Curve's production of A CHORUS LINE returns for UK tour
It has been announced that CURVE theatre, Leicester’s smash hit production of the Broadway musical A Chorus Line will return in 2024, playing at Curve from 28 June to 13 July 2024, with a Summer run at Sadler's Wells from 31 July to 25 August and a UK Tour.
The UK tour will visit Salford, Norwich, Canterbury, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and High Wycombe.
This production was originally staged at Curve, Leicester in Christmas 2021, and is directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster and choreographed by Ellen Kane. A Chorus Line features set design by Grace Smart, costumes by Edd Lindley, lighting by Howard Hudson, and sound by Tom Marshall.
Reprising their roles from the 2021 run will be Adam Cooper as Zach and Carly Mercedes Dyer as Cassie. Full casting will be announced soon.
Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster said: “Working on A Chorus Line in 2021 at Curve was one of those once in a lifetime moments, and to have another opportunity to re-visit our acclaimed production and share it with a wider audience is something we could never have dreamed of. All great shows need exceptional new artists to reinterpret them for the generation to enjoy and in Ellen Kane’s world class choreography, Michael Bennett’s extraordinary piece is invigorated through Ellen’s sensational work. Being able to share this production with audiences in Leicester once more, ahead of visiting the home of dance Sadler’s Wells and then on tour across the UK, reuniting Carly Mercedes Dyer as Cassie and Adam Cooper as Zach is the icing on the cake.”
With a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban, A Chorus Line features iconic songs including ‘One’, ‘I Hope I Get It’, ‘Nothing’ and the hit ballad ‘What I Did For Love’. Join us next summer for sensational choreography, heart-wrenching personal stories and musical theatre’s most unforgettable finale.
