Chorus Line- very nice

Saw Chorus Line this past week. Like revisiting an old friend. Nothing new or revolutionary about this staging. And I don't think that was the intent. It was just a nice reminder of how good this show is/was. I think it holds up over time and with strong performances by the majority of the cast, the show still works. I think I was expecting/hoping to be blown away, but instead I came away thinking "yes. very good."
I thought Charlotte was a fine Cassie, Jason Tam was a good Paul (not sure about all the Tony mentions in other posts, but he was well suited for the role), Tyler Hanes does well with what he has (fantastic dancer and very cute!), and Mara Davi was a strong Maggie. All in all, not too much to say. Just a very "nice" evening of theater. Worth seeing if you've never seen it. Worth revisiting if you've missed it.

Good job to all.

Did you see it ACL? I'll assume from your name you probably did. Did you agree? Good show. Good cast. Nothing spectacular (or "sensational" I should say), but a very "nice" evening at the theater. The show is clearly a masterpiece. And they all did a great job.
