'A Chorus Line' Revisited

The smash Broadway musical “A Chorus Line” opened in 1975.
It was a monster hit – the longest-running Broadway production in history in its day. It had now-famous songs: “What I Did for Love” and “At the Ballet." A famously unusual story - of seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for the show.
For the 2006 revival, 3000 dancers showed up to audition. Their struggles are the subject of a new documentary.
