Does the A Chorus Line audition (Broadway) start like this:
Step, kick, kick, leap, step, touch.... etc.
Do you have to know the choreography to audition?

Posted: 9/15/05 at 9:21pmI don't know if you are referring to the actual song, but I am saying if they expect you to know the choreography, and that routine is the audition.

Posted: 9/15/05 at 9:49pmThere are many ways for one to step, then kick, then kick, then leap, then kick, then touch. You can't expect them to adhere to your choreography.

Posted: 9/15/05 at 11:44pmI don't think they'd expect everyone to know the original Broadway choreography. That would be almost impossible ( although it could happen).

No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Posted: 9/16/05 at 11:21amIn all honesty every self respecting dancer in New York knows that opening number. No, you don't have to know the choreography as they would teach it at the audition. However, I can pretty much guarantee you that those auditions were busting with every single person who's been on the line before.
