A Chorus Line - Opening Combo

[mustangmooney21]

I saw the production at the Shubert Theater weeks before it closed. I preferd the movie version better. 

[NitrosKB]

i'm going to be performing this in a show... im afraid to wear the costumes.

[Club1981Channel]

love love love this movie.... so much talent here :-)

[icarrus4u]

These stupid commercials!!!!

[xopatrysiaaxo]

does anyone knw where i can get this version of the song? i realllyy need itt

[uabcjgrad2006]

@xopatrysiaaxo try a free online converter like zamzar. You can convert a URL file to an mp3 file then burn it to a CD.

[gabsylv]

@TheFriedolays but you can get a hell of a lot stupider, you're proof

[MrHicks091]

@TheFriedolays Yet here you are watching it :-p. Do you liking that closet you're so obviously inhabiting? First of all, dancers require greater physical fitness than most athletes. Second of all, dancing is far less gay than-say-football (rugby, soccer or Gridiron), what with all its tight uniforms and guy-on-guy action-not to mention the shared shower room afterwards ;-).

[carriewhite410]

I like the choreography for the stage version more than the movie version, though I've only seen the revival and I'm not sure if the original is anywhere near similar.

[Vampirebeauty6]

I love this musical! Stage version is def. better than the movie. As a theatre practitioner the stage version hits closer to home. "What I did for Love" is about the art and in the movie that was missed. And the stage choreography for "I hope I get it" is much more difficult than the movie version. I had to learn them for dance class. It was more difficult than "Cats"!

[superstar5565]

hsm learn from theese peopel

[dancerudges]

thanks 4 this i really needed it XD

[goddess098]

besides the finale this is my favorite part in the movie

[meggyliz96]

JEALOUS!

[TheSensationPR]

Where canIget this movie!?

[renenoir]

懐かしい・・・

この映画を初めて見た時、僕はシーラより年下で、オバンくさくて­気が乗らないと平気で手抜きするシーラが大嫌いだった。

いま僕はシーラの年齢を追い抜き、あらためてみてみると、不思議­なことにいま一番好きなキャラがシーラなのです。

[milesness]

Roxann Dawson from star trek is in this! belanna torres.

[xoxAkamaruxox]

BEST MUSICAL EVER

WORST MOVIE EVER

[lawlzerskates]

@xoxAkamaruxox i completely agree.

[Juliaflo]

@xoxAkamaruxox I completely second the motion. I saw the movie and didn't toss my popcorn (and I don't mean at the screen, LOLOLOL).

[Juliaflo]

@xoxAkamaruxox You said it. After 25 years, it baffles me why this musical was made into a movie in the first place.

[happypenguin1990]

whos robbie?

[grimrepr]

LAND OF THE LOST LOL

[AnneSavina71]

Brilliant!. Thank you so much for sharing!

[BroadwayBoundLoser16]

I like the movie choreography of the opening as much as I like the stage choreography by Michael Bennett. However, I prefer the choreography of "One" better on stage than in the movie.

[shannonmcking]

anyone know where i can find the written choreography somewhere for this number?

[shorterac989]

written choreography?

[AuntyM66]

One my favourites

[chakasmoothjazz]

the best and the amazing one, is the black dancer and he sings amazing too

[shanesbirdhilz]

just started learning this today! such a laugh - its so good!

[dancer5181993]

My dance class is learning this as an opener to our show. Its amazingly hard at first but its so fun to dance to once you get the hang of it. (my favorite movie.....by the way)

[Cataglyphis]

LOL, you're so right. the moves aren't that hard, but it's difficult to do it fast and exact in the beginning :)

[CatIsADinosaur]

wher doing this song in my musical theater class and the choreo is soo hard!

[ijstaart]

genius!

[CuriositysCat]

I adore this number, they are moving so tightly together, it's amazing.

[Benneh666]

we ar elearning this for dance

it is freaking awesome

a little hard but once you pick it up its easy as

[GothicGruftie]

A great Movie! I love it.

[ChisaiJoyu]

I love this! Can't find the movie anywhere though. Someone should upload the whole thing in parts!

[gorillaznut]

Target. Thats where I got my copy....

[Born4Ballet]

i wouldn't recommend the movie. it wasn't that good. if you ever get the chance, i would recommend seeing the play for sure

[StripedRedScarves]

I remember the first thing i saw was the movie, and i thought it was amzing, but the play i s DEFINANTLY better

[stuetzie]

i LOVe this musical but i HATE this movie, just terrible!

[BroadwayBelle]

Laaaame. I can't stand this movie.

[cookie602]

[Hangcat]

sweetness I am actually learning this dance for a dance class I'm in and it is sooo much fun.

[Dancinggirl72000]

i luvvv the part when there all rising up with there arms in the shape of like a bird......lol anywhoo... and all there heads come up at like the same exate time....i luv it its intense

[Dancinggirl72000]

i learned this dance in one of my dance classes over the summer, it is sooooooo fun!!! i luvvv it

[BeepMii]

There is also a song with this beat, and a man keeps saying all the time what you have to do, so not just in the beginning. Does anyone know the name?

[hermioneroxmysox]

we're doing this at eichelberger [[an academy that performs musicals]] and this dance is so difficult! my legs still hurt...

[BroadwayBelle]

I knew there was a reason I didn't like this movie. It's not a very good representation of the stage production.

[gorillaznut]

I luv this movie!! I hope I get to see it on broadway..

[kateycakeykate]

i just saw this on broadway and it was amazing theres nothing better than live theatre but when it comes to a version of thefilm or theatre theatre every time!!!

[theunwrittenpast]

i love a chorus line

I'm one of the performers at school for December, and we're doing this.

it changed my life.

it is absolutely brilliant

[Mungojerriestar]

PLEASE can you upload the song just after Hello Love where Richie does a really cool dance solo? It doesn't seem to exist on the internet....

[flipsideB06]

Any chance you could upload "I can do That" from the movie? Please?

[rhawkins003]

(Switch light on) "Cassie get off the stage!" (Switch light off). God this movie was terrible. And I love the Michael Bennet-free choreography. God.

[joefrisco100]

Oh, how they ruined Michael Bennett's original choreography is a disgrace to musical theatre! This film should be burned and never viewed again!

[rorshock007]

Dontcha just love how he's got a hundred people on stage dancing all at the same time and he's sitting way in the back of the theater. That Zach is such a brilliant choreographer, he can tell which dancers are the best. Even the one he can't see because they're standing behind ten other people.

[joefrisco100]

I guess that's what the mirrors where supposed to be used for! LOL!

[Future0824]

This movie changed my life. I began dreaming the day I saw this movie. I was about 8 years old when I realized that I will have obstacles and challenges in life, but if I believe, truly believe, "I will get it".

[PrestonSC]

Ugh, who told them to relinquish the sparkling original choreography in favor of this fugly mess? And turn the jazz break into a schmoozy 80s electronica garble?

[HumbleHarry]

I really like this movie and have seen it several times. It's a shame this film was not accepted on its own merits, which I think were considerable: An absorbing & well-acted story with good singing & terrific dancing. Unfortunately, big screen adaptations of stage musicals rarely make the transition unscathed. Maybe the purists might have been better served if the creators of "A Chorus Line" had just filmed the stage show.

[samo314159]

...or maybe the filmmakers should thought twice before inserting flashbacks into dance numbers. Just saying.

[breathepilates]

Exactly. Well said, "...not accepted on its OWN merits." That was a great cast who were only doing what they were asked and they did an awesome job at it too. The cast is strong, the talent is there. I think the problem lies in changing the meaning of "What I Did For Love." "Love" was suppose to represent the love of dance--not between two people kinda love. That's where it really crossed the line. Lesson learned; don't re-interpret a Pulitzer-Prize winning piece of musical history.

[BeepMii]

I cant find the movie on the internet. Do you know a site?

[breathepilates]

I'm sorry I don't know where to find the film on the internet.

Funny it wasn't shown on this crap on tv, "Movies Rock." Don't mean to sound bitter. But come on*%#@ This is crap! Did you see the "Diamonds" or "Big Spender" numbers? It was "BIG" alright and in a red dress too. Best thing was Underwood's "Sound of Music" rendition.

Anyway, luck with your hunt. If you get a chance the Browadway show of A Chorus Line is worth seeing.

[edenelphie]

eww

[wftjet]

I remember the review of this movie..."Show 10, Film 3..."

[chockfullofmoxie]

I've been bisecting this video forever. I finally bought this dvd. So I'm working on getting to know this dance.

[Bdabudgyal]

I've just been introduced to jazz in school and my dance teacher Ms. W showed us some of the movie along with Chicago && Cats... Soo love Chorus line and chicago...

[Naadras]

great movie ! i like it :). I'm looking for the two alyson reed's songs ('let me dance for you' & 'what i did for love'). If you have these songs, could you post, please ? :) thanks a lot =)

[skidoo4life002]

i think i just puked...i'm in a chorus line in the first production in a college in the chicago land area and we are doing straight original broadway choreography...that was probably the worst thing i have ever seen...wow they really screwed that up big time...

[bitchthatisawesome]

i love this movie...they did a good production of this at our school

[Jawin]

i dont get why ppl hate this so much, get over it, just ignore the movie then

[LovableElf]

Awesome. Of course, it's the only version of the musical I have seen. -.- I like it.

xAEJunky, any chance you could post the whole movie, in sections? =D I'm trying to find someone to do that. Heh.

[chrissizzle25]

wow this really is a travesty...

they BUTCHERED the broadway musical.

[danromero]

I just vomited myself.

[SpamalotDiva]

WTF!

[Cora1]

Vicki Fredrick is pretty hot.

[Cora1]

Vickie Fredrick is pretty hot in the movie.

[luvslugg]

You guys were right that is horribly awful! Nail on the head with the more like flashdance comparison. Travesty for any die hard a Chorus Line fan but would be amusing for the 80's kitschy set.

[blackpython]

They completely 80s-ized A Chorus Line, when it's a completely 70s show. AND IT BELONGS THAT WAY. THAT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT WAY. Gah. What the hell, Michael Douglas and Terrence Mann, how could you be involved in such a bad movie?

[shaunarbrown]

I like the production number and the other numbers in the film, it must be hard to efficiently scout talent when so many folks want to be seen in a limited timeframe.

[markmole]

Looks more like Flashdance than A Chorus Line, or even worse, Showgirls!

[McStrifey]

lame.

blaspheming hookers.

[YODA911]

what the hell!!!!

[saoirseaine]

Talk about screwing everything up! What the hell is up with the music? And why is the choreography bastardized? That is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

[AngelofRent]

Wow. I don't mean any disrespect to Richard Attenborough, but he has downright MAULED everything that made A Chorus Line excellent. And Michael Douglas just DOESN'T work as Zach.
