Did you know

- GoofsVal would not have been able to audition for the Rockettes; at 5'3" she would not meet the minimum height requirement of 5'6".
- Alternate versionsThe international print of the movie has a different opening credits sequence. All the titles appear with scenes around Manhattan, which opens the film, and then we see the shot of the theater as the dancers are lined up and walking in the theater; there is also no sound of Larry directing the dancers until the first shot inside the theater.

Featured review
Enjoyable
Why all the bad reviews? Is it dated? Yes. But the music, the dancing, the really skimpy costumes all makes it magical.
I recently saw the documentary following the Broadway revival and felt the tug of nostalgia pulling to watch the original. I was watching mainly for the music and the dancing. They did not disappoint.
Of course THEATRE is best live and in person - that goes without saying. But I enjoyed my viewing of A Chorus Line.
