On the show’s opening night, The Muny’s seats were packed for good reason. Since its Broadway opening in 1975, A Chorus Line has often been called “the best musical ever.”
Some structures will have themes (such as a paranormal fort) or impressive construction styles (think: blanket fort on a pond raft). It’s not just forts, though: expect food, beer, live music, art and wellness workshops, and at the end of the night, a costume contest.
The Muny shows its teeth with this one. What starts the show as uncomfortable titters of laughter soon erupts to straight cackling as the audience adjusts to Brooks’s humor, and the way the cast nails the part-sexy, part-silly production.
