At first I thought this was going to be long-lost footage of the original "Music and the Mirror" choreography. Oh well.
Thanks morosco!

Posted: 3/10/08 at 1:26pmI have actually heard of a production where they made Cassie a guy(changed to Chris) and Zach a female(changed to Lisa) because the guy was such a strong dancer. This was years ago, in Texas, I believe.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I'd like to see that, only if Zach remains unchanged.

H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!
Too bad it started off great but then went to the crapper with all of them free-styling the whole thing. It first looked promising at first since the 1st guy (who's wig fell off) was doing the actual Michael Bennett choreography. Then it went on its own, but in a good way.
I think a male is best suited for this choreography as the great Donna McKechnie has said that no one could do Cassie's dance better than Michael Bennett. Not even her.

Posted: 3/10/08 at 1:31pmI would love to have seen Bennett dance the number. I just can't imagine how amazing that must have been.

Oh God, yes.
I hope that ACL doc contains never before seen footage.
Not that Bennett dancing MITM was ever filmed, but any footage of the OBC would send me over the moon.

Though the heading is incorrectly labeled as 1998, it is actually the 1988 Tribute to Michael Bennett that was performed at the Tony Awards shortly after his death.
Donna had returned to A CHORUS LINE and she performs a nice chunk of "The Music & the Mirror".
Also of note -- reunited for the first time since 1982: the original Dreamgirls: Sheryl Lee Ralph, Deborah Burrell and (in the early stages of her now-present girth) Loretta Devine.

And one of them ironically screws up the choreography.

...yup, and that is none-other than Loretta Devine. She was too busy snacking backstage during the pre-show rehearsal, which fumed Sherly Lee and Deborah.

Posted: 3/10/08 at 3:56pmHaving seen all the youtube videos featuring the dance, I only came to one significant conclusion: Donna McKechnie is the only person who's ever looked good in that red costume. I think Wanda Ritcher was thinking the same thing when she was dancing in front of the mirrors too.

Posted: 3/10/08 at 4:05pmThere's a video of that dance in a Hawaii production that seems really good to me, but I could be wrong.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
