Some of the dancers are excellent and have learned the steps easily. I know what’s about to happen I’ve seen this before – multiple times – I get goose bumps, nonetheless.Īs the dance captain shouts, “5, 6, 7, 8,” the cast dances the routine they have been taught. The lights go up, revealing about two dozen young people in dance attire. It’s the opening number on opening night of A Chorus Line by the Bucks County Center for the Performing Arts. Then, from the six-piece orchestra, the familiar beat: dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum. In ambient light, we can see outlines of two dozen figures moving onto the stage. The lights begin to dim … a hush falls over the audience.
The experience begins with a theater full of people … some chatting, some reading their programs, some showing eager anticipation about the musical they are about to see. It is an ice cream sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
“A Chorus Line” is a deliciously entertaining show.
