Every Little Step

First Hit: A very moving extraordinary film providing a wonderful window into the world of performers attempting to be cast for a Broadway play.

I have never seen the theater production of “A Chorus Line”. However, if it were to appear in a theater, I would certainly go after seeing this film.

It starts off with a partial clip of the audio recording Michael Bennett made with some of his theatrical dancing cohorts as they sat around and discussed their lives and desires in their chosen profession. What came out of this tape was the script for A Chorus Line. In this film we see the casting process for a remaking of a new production of A Chorus Line with each of the actors/dancers looking to play the parts of original cast and also to bring their own experience to the part.

This casting call brought out 3,000 people who wanted to be in the remake.

This film was wonderfully directed by James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo, who moved between interviews of the initial cast, Bob Avian, the original audio tape, and some of the 3,000 who wanted to win a part.

Overall: I was swept away by the processes and the interwoven discussions and clips of the past into the present. It was fun to guess who would get the part and see how close I came.
