A Chorus Line — Page 2

I saw it in 78 with the British cast and I have to say having seen the Broadway (replacement) cast and the Australian cast it was in a pretty sorry state. The theatre was about 1/4 full and the cast were for the most part lacking. As well as the aforementioned Cassie (Elizabeth Seal?), Connie was no longer Asian and the cast physically in no way resembled the shows poster. I do recall hearing that at one point the Australian Sheila was made a very good offer to go into the show in London. Back in those days there used to be a theory that in London when shows (musicals) opened you could get a good cast but good replacements were often hard to come by. I think those days have passed.
