Chorus Line RevivalJust saw it at the Orpheum in Memphis. Crappy sound system by the way, music was somewhere between sharp and shrill And parts of each song just sort of disappeared.
My question is that it seems to me that the dancing was greatly revised from the original. The one we saw had Cassie's big number as more of an interpretive modern dance than the more Broadway style I remember. On the finale of "One" I think I remember the lights come up on a full Chorus Line dancing to the number in a very powerful manner. The version we saw they used the finale as a kiss off, each member came our, took a bow and joined the line. then into a rather subdued precision line dance, still did the circle but not all that great.
Am I wrong, how was the original finale staged?
