A group of dancers congregate on the stage of a Broadway theatre to audition for a new musical production directed by Zach.

Reviews

Susan F I am a native New Yorker and saw the Broadway production four times with the original and first replacement cast. This adaptation is so bad, that it is embarrassing. Avoid it at all cost. The person Who decided to hire Richard Attenbourogh (sic.) must have been the person decided to hire John Huston to direct the awful Annie and Albert Finney to play Daddy Arbucks.

Dalbert Pringle (*Most demented movie-quote imaginable*) - "All I know how to do is point my toes and leap!".... (Spare me!) Believe me - This 1985 "audition" movie was truly idiotic. Its whole premise concerned a bunch of absolutely desperate hopefuls who were all auditioning for (*and I quote from movie*) "a crummy chorus line job".Until seeing "A Chorus Line" - I had never realized just how irrationally emotional dancers really were. I mean, getting this "crummy chorus line job", literally, brought a good number of them to tears.And, on top of that - They were all so anxious about getting this "crummy chorus line job" that they willingly subjected themselves to a totally demented "soul bearing" interrogation from a smug, tyrannical choreographer named Zach in order to land this nothing-of-a-position..... (Sheesh!) The last straw that broke this musical's back, for me, was the introduction of the revolting "Cassie" character into the story. Her utter desperation to land this "crummy chorus line job" was absolutely sickening beyond belief.

P Carl this movie is a movie that absolutely everybody has heard of, and it is widely known that this movie is widely viewed in a favorable light.... is this some elaborate cosmic practical joke? this is one of the worst movies ever made. it is terrible. make you angry at your children and dog, terrible. Awful, terrible, horrible.I cannot express clearly enough the awfulness of this movie. ---- without spoiling the "plot" this movie is about actors acting that they are whining about how bone-wrackingly awful acting is to poor under-appreciated downtrodden actors ---- and they do a terrible job, over-acting their miserable poorly written parts. oh, and there is a song.

edmichaelsentertainment If anyone has seen the stage version they know this the worst rendition of a Broadway show ever done. They changed songs (example Richie's Give Me the Ball leading to S**t Richie)cut some and took out some of the best dialog lines in the show and worst of all Cassie sings What I Did for Love for her love of Zach when Diana is supposed to sing it for the love of dancing. They only good thing about this movie is the dancing. Other than it's horrible. The actors are the worst actors and singers ever chosen for a movie. They were only chosen for their ability to dance so I guess if you have no care for the Broadway stage it doesn't matter. And honestly besides Michael Douglas,who are these people?
