Hello twelve, hello thirteen...
Boobs & Tush
Judging by those dress rehearsal photos -- this looks quite good. I'd definitely see it.
Interesting that they made the effort to keep the original costume designs.

"It is worth noting that McKechnie and Michael Bennett were actually married – twice."
I don't think this is true. Anybody have info on their being married more than once?
I think it's wonderful that they're taking the piece so seriously. And it's not like there haven't been youth productions of ACL before.

"And it's not like there haven't been youth productions of ACL before."
I was about to say that. I have seen many high schools and middle schools perform Chorus Line.
Donna McKechnie and Michael Bennett were only married once. That was more than enough to mess Donna up for several years (per her own words). She went thru hell during and after that marriage. Bennett was one monster...to everyone. Wow!

Looks like in their production, Larry got a sex change. I'm calling the Michael Bennett Estate Hotline and reporting them.
That child needs his pants hemmed. He is gonna fall on his "orchestra and balcony". Also, Cassie or whoever she is needs her bodysuit fitted as well. It makes her look dumpy.
Is a boy playing Diana? Or is "Cody" a girl?
They look great! Break-a-leg, gang!

some changes to be made:
"Hello 6, hello 7, hello Like!"
I fumbled for a suitable replacement for "Dance 10 looks 3" but couldn't think of a thing.

funniest thread this week, at least.
"The montage wipes into "Nothing," Diana's recollections of a horrible high school acting class, and then "Dance Ten, Looks Three," Val's explanation that talent doesn't count for everything with casting directors. (The song is perhaps better known by the "biological" title "Tits and Ass.") A wrenching monologue follows in which the emotionally vulnerable Paul comes to terms with his early career, manhood, and sense of self."
Who wrote this?!
"Wipes into Nothing?"
"Biological title?"
I REALLY wanna see this!

I think we need to get up a BWW road trip and go this! Campy fun!

I saw a college production where Larry became Lori. It worked OK...I guess.....I know that the script has provisions for alternative casting (e.g., I non-Asian Connie), so maybe "Lori" is officially allowed (?).
Ooooo...I just noticed that the cast list says "Maggie (What I Did For Love)". Huh?!?! I guess they wanted to spread the big solos around, and Diana already has "Nothing".
