Actually, The Music and the Mirror comes before Paul's monologue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeldar (talk • contribs) 15:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your efforts to indicate the location of Paul's monologue within the list of Musical Numbers. however, as you yourself write in a note, it is not a number and therefore should not be listed in that section. Its appropriate place is in the plot summary. Thanks, and cheers--Cbradshaw (talk) 00:04, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carole (Kelly) Bishop[edit]

At the time of the show, Kelly Bishop was known as Carole Bishop. The infobox lists her as Carole, but links directly to Kelly Bishop. This could be confusing for people that are not aware of her namechange -- but I don't exactly know how this should be handled. Thoughts? MichaelCaricofe 06:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She was credited as Carole Bishop. The infobox should display the name she was credited as and link to the article on her (Kelly Bishop). --AMK1211 21:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Her own article is the place to explain the name change. -- Ssilvers 14:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One[edit]

I believe the song "One" is featured for a brief amount of time in the film American Dreamz, at the terrorist camp section. Any verification?Commie Hat 101 12:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Allen[edit]

The cast member Scott Allen links to Scott Ethan Allen an Olympic Figure skater in the 1960's. His page says nothing about him being in 'A Chorus Line' and he doesn't seem to be the same person, but I do not know how to fix the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OtterDW (talk • contribs) 07:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronoun References in Characters Section[edit]

It seems to me more difficult to follow than necessary when a character is referred to as "her friend" or similar, unless the pronoun is self-referential. It's also possible a future editor may think a different arrangement of the order of the characters would be better, and such lines may no longer be adjacent. Wouldn't such lines be better expressed as "Sheila's friend"? Given name would suffice as it looks like they're all unique. -- Joe (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may have a point. They are currently written in that manner as that is the order of the characters from Stage Right to Stage Left. Furthermore, part of the reason some of the characters are next to each other in the line (ex Sheila/Bobby) is that the authors chose to underline their relationship in the play. If you feel it's better, it's not a big deal to change it. Cheers -Cbradshaw (talk) 05:16, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Longest-running show ranking?[edit]

In the third paragraph of the introduction "A Chorus Line" is described as "the fourth longest-running Broadway show ever." However, in the fourth paragraph of the "Original production" section of the "Production history" section it is said be rank third after "Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera." Which is correct, or what additional information is missing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.249.165 (talk) 20:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago Shubert Theatre[edit]

I saw A Chorus Line twice at the Chicago Shubert Theatre in 1978 or 1979. Why is there no mention of that performance run? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.24.136 (talk) 20:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


You indirectly make a good point: the original touring productions of the show were hugely significant. There are references to specific later tours. However, the only reference to any of the original tours is to the "Los Angeles company," which is actually incorrect. That production launched in San Francisco, then transferred to Los Angeles, and continued touring across the country for years. I think that was the First National Tour. The U.S. also hosted the International Tour (which I think launched in Toronto) and a slightly scaled down Second National Tour. I believe there was a very significant amount of time that these three productions simultaneously toured throughout the U.S.(and Canada), in addition to the Broadway company (meaning on six days of any week, A CHORUS LINE was performing in four different U.S. cities).

In 1978 or 1979, Chicago must have had either the International or First National companies--both of which were kept first rate. (The Second National was also excellent but had a tougher traveling schedule and the performers were more likely to be greener--excellent performers but still needing some tweaking.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.164.210.102 (talk) 09:35, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
