Highland Park Players present, "A Chorus Line"

Thursday is the final day for the presale of tickets for the Highland Park Players production of “A Chorus Line”. The production includes 9 performances over three weekends at the Northbrook Theater, 3323 Walters Avenue, in Northbrook, opening Friday, October 10, 2014 through Sunday. October 26. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8:00 pm and Sunday performances are at 2:00 pm.

A Chorus Line is a musical with music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban and a book by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante. A CHORUS LINE is a stunning musical-verite about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical. It tells of the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the show, and is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration. Memorable musical numbers include I Can Do That, At the Ballet, Dance: Ten; Looks: Three, The Music and the Mirror, What I Did for Love, One (Singular Sensation) and I Hope I Get It. It is a brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song and compellingly authentic drama.

The cast includes: Dave Lemrise, Angel Abcede, Brett Baleskie, Alison Stake, Wade Tischhauser, Ariana Cappuccitti, Shawn Bechtol, Alexis Armstrong, Mary Mausser, Todd D. Bulmash, Justine Klein, Nicki Padron-Glass, Ruben Castro, Jonny Simkus, Nicolette De Guia, Reneisha Jenkins, Tyler Callahan, Deric Gochenauer, Marci Medwed, Jenna Makkawy, Ashley Kammrath, Trace Lande, Robby Williams, Bob Spidale and Jamie Davidson. “ A Chorus Line” is directed by Catherine Davis, with Peter Rasey as choreographer, Annie Jo Ermel as assistant choreographer, co-vocal directors, Aaron Kaplan and Michael Goldman (also conductor) and executive producers Bradley A. Rose and Jamie Davidson.
