if you could be in a Broadway chorus...

If you could choose to be in the chorus of any Broadway show, which one would be your first choice? How about your last choice?

I think that my first choice would have to be Sweeney Todd. The show itself is a compelling piece of theatre, and the chorus is just as important to the telling of the ‘tale’ as the characters they sing of in third person. It’s like a greek chorus. The music is also extremely challenging both rhythmically and melodically.

My last choice would be: Wicked. I love the show, but I can’t seem to get to like the Shiz Students/Ozians at all. Though I'm sure things were intended this way, it seems that the chorus characters were all written to be unlikable, mobbish and narrow-minded in order to make Elphaba more likable and heroic. Plus, the chorus music—for me—pales in comparison to the solos, duets, etc.

hmmmmm...I would like to be in Cabaret..I guess it's not really chorus but one of the Cabaret girls!! They are too much fun!

I was chorus for Cabaret and Crazy for You (Lulu and Mitzi) and I LOVED it.
I love doing the dancing showgirls type chorus parts.

1st choice- Hairspray. They get to dance their butts off, sing and wear those fabulous 60's clothes.

last choice- I'll go with Wicked as well. Those chorus numbers were "eh".

I would love to be in the chorus of THE WHO'S TOMMY as a pimp or a drug dealer.

one good thing about the wicked chorus- they get to wear amazing costumes!
best: urinetown
worst: cats; jesus christ superstar, i will never say "what's the buzz tell me what's-a happenin'" in my LIFE!

First choice:Les Miserables.

Last choice:Annie (NEVER again...)

I would love to be in the chorus of Bat Boy, I imagine it would be a ton of fun. If I could do another show I have already been in I would pick Reefer Madness. How many times can you make your entrance as a reefer zombie, go into a swing dance number, followed by an orgy with a giant hookah that really used to be a lamp, and then emerge as angels complete with tin pie plate halos.

Aida
Secret Garden ( just a lovely show)

Last - .... Hair? (I'm shy)

hairspray.. duh

...I'd have to say Les Mis or Taboo for first choices. Although I wouldn't mind being in the chorus for The Scarlet Pimpernel either.
