Early workshops were hosted by dancers Michon Peacock and Tony Stevens until a young, up and coming Broadway director and cho- reographer, Michael Bennett, was invited as an observer. Eventually Bennett took full control of the workshops and development of the show. Serving as director and co-choreographer with Bob


Avian, Bennett ushered “A


Chorus Line” to its Off-Broad- way debut at The Public The- ater in April of 1975 and then to its Broadway opening July 25, 1975 at the Shubert The- atre. With critical praise and record-breaking box office sales, the musical was hon- ored with nine Tony Awards and received the 1976 Pulit- zer Prize for Drama. When it closed in 1990, “A Chorus Line” achieved the milestone as the longest running Broad- way show in history. Featuring Broadway and na- touring professionals,

accomplished musicians and acclaimed production values, the


Transcendence Theatre


Company outdoor production of “A Chorus Line” will be a unique Broadway experience in the heart of Wine Country.
