A CHORUS LINE 50TH Anniversary Flash Mob sings "One" & "What I Did For Love" at Lincoln Center

Описание: A CHORUS LINE 50TH Anniversary Flash Mob sings "One" & "What I Did For Love" at Lincoln Center on July 25, 2025, under the direction of Baayork Lee.

Fifty years ago this year, A Chorus Line hit the stage and became a worldwide sensation—and the Library for the Performing Arts was there to capture it during its first days! The Theatre on Film and Tape Archive videotaped A Chorus Line in July 1975 during its original Off-Broadway run at the Public Theater, just days before the sold out success moved to Broadway for a record-breaking run.

On July 25, 2025, the Library celebrated the history of this groundbreaking musical with a panel discussion featuring original 1975 cast members Kelly Bishop, Baayork Lee, Priscilla Lopez, and Donna McKechnie, performers who were all captured in their original recording. Moderated by Broadway producer and director Richard Jay-Alexander, the panel talked about what led to their involvement and their experiences in the production, and working with Michael Bennett, the original director-choreographer.

After the talk, A CHORUS LINE alums gathered for a flash mob at Lincoln Center and performed, the opening number, "ONE", and "What I Did For Love".
