A Chorus Line
A
group of dancers congregate on the stage of a Broadway theater to
audition for a new musical. After the initial eliminations, 16 hopefuls
remain. As the film unfolds, the backstory of each of the dancers is
revealed. Some are funny, some ironic, some heartbreaking. No matter
what their background, however, they all have one thing in common - a
passion for dance.

My Thoughts
A Chorus Line blu-ray was released as part of the MGM 90th Anniversary. I've never seen this film before getting the Blu-ray nor have I had the pleasure of seeing the show live on Broadway. That being said, I really enjoyed the musical and can see why it was nominated for an Oscar back in 1985. The movie follows sixteen dancers going through a difficult audition led by a choreographer named Zach, played by Michael Douglas. You get to learn what led them to stage as Zach grills them with personal questions throughout the audition. Some of the stories will make you laugh out loud and some will move you to tears. But despite their differences, every one of the dancers is passionate about their chosen career and ready to make sacrifices to stay in the game.
The movie is filled with fun songs and a vast array of talent. It takes you behind the scenes of the struggles and drama of Broadway. There is music, laughs, and even a little love between Zach and one of the dancers. If you enjoy musicals and haven't seen this film yet, it's definitely worth watching.
