"...the classic and beloved Broadway musical A Chorus Line...won nine Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. ...the honesty and reality portrayed by the dancers in the show and the universality of the emotional connection of their passion to their craft still resonates today. With an excellent cast and superb direction and choreography, Theater Works' production of this musical is beautiful, thrilling, humorous, and deeply moving....In some way, each of us can find a commonality with at least one, if not many, of the dancers on the stage and I believe that's why this show has been so successful and still resonates today. With a sensational cast, superb direction and creative elements, Theater Works' A Chorus Line is an excellent and solid production of this groundbreaking and classic show..

"...Director and choreographer Molly Lajoie delivers a well-crafted re-creation without any real surprises, but also without any big disappointments. And that may sound like faint praise, but it’s really not...The cast does justice to a musical that is more about personal stories than about high-kicking razzle-dazzle.

" A constellation of stars has gathered in Molly Lajoie's divinely directed production of A CHORUS LINE. ...She has literally and dramatically pulled the words out of the song (One) and, with style and verve, created her own singular sensation revolving around a thrilling combination of performers. ...For those who already know the music of Marvin Hamlisch ( Steve Hilderbrand and orchestra are terrific) and Edward Kleban's lyrics, this show will be a Lajoie-ous reunion. For those new to it, it will be an uplifting Lajoie-ous introduction. For all, it's a must see!" - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
