ESU Salutes A Chorus Line

News

Music Theater Heritage (MTH) at Crown Center is producing the musical A Chorus Line, considered one of the most prolific musicals of all time. Winner of 9 TONY Awards as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it remains relevant, provocative and explosively entertaining. 

This production stars Kansas City native, Nathan Darrow, whose talents include film and television productions such as House of Cards, Billions, and many more. Nathan has the role of the choreographer in A Chorus Line at MTH.

Here are three events featuring A Chorus Line and we hope you can attend all three:

We will be showing the documentary film Every Little Step (1 hr. 33 min.) which follows the plight of real-life dancers as they struggle through auditions for the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line.

This is a free screening. This will be the grand finale of three events saluting Music Theater Heritage's production of A Chorus Line. We hope to see you at all three events.
