A chorus line the movie - audition

[greengringo2003]

. . . and I'd probly wanna to F*K her if she weighed more than 89 lbs/44 kilos.

[bagpussvamp]

this film had a brilliant cast - saw it first in the cinema and went to see the stage show about a year later - and was so disappointed - the dancing was nowhere near as good as the film and neither was the singing

[greengringo2003]

@bagpussvamp Thing to keep in mind is, movies are NOT reality, since the director and all the other mugwumps who have a hand in it, get their little hands on the film takes and . . . it just ain't reality, no more than what, the red carpet strut with the dresses, the political scene with the makeup and speechwriters . . . well, you get the idea. Stay true to what you know, and your thinkin' apparatus.

[coquiylelia]

omg!!!!! :D

[zeldagirly22]

Jesus Christ! Everything is perfect! Right on point haha~

[buldgingballs]

Boy this brings back memories. I used to toss off to this scene when i was 14.

[mmbr01rrf]

The people who made this film took one of the greatest musicals ever, groundbreaking, & a real piece of Musical Theatre history -and turned it into a piece of drek. That took some real concentration.

[poulosdance]

the girl in the grey is supposed to be a ditzy blonde.

[poulosdance]

@maelgie- that is not fosse's daughter. fosse's daughter is cristine- not bebe. bebe later danced with michael jackson and was the dance captain on showgirls

[SUMIREKT]

she is god

[samurbancode]

You heard Seinfeld's ugly cousin! Just like her!

[lolareminscent]

bebe benson... the women is flawless

[DizzBlackMagic]

[OperaGhostObsession]

She looks so familiar.... Was she in Cats, by any chance? Because she looks like one of the people in Cats....

[middleoffield]

@OperaGhostObsession She can be seen at Showgirl, 1995 movie...

[beautndabeast]

[movinon20]

[maelgie]

damn the girl in da grey on da left needs to get her shit together.

Learn the dance sweety

[agentwaterfowl]

@maelgie the funny thing is, that's Bob Fosse's daughter lol... you'd think that she'd be pretty good at dancing, what with Broadway legends for parents haha. Her character is supposed to not have her shit together, though - she's really scatterbrained and stuff in the original play.

[jjdynomite5000]

No spine!!! U betta dance grl!!!!!

[hiphopman610]

Who made this song that she/they are dancing to?

[avenueyay]

[starb0rn]

Wow.. I wish I could dance like that.

My limit is stepping and clapping. I'm hopeless!

[JuliaWasHere]

The fucking hair got me before anything else did.

[SuperDeonte]

[BaggyJeansBoy]

Michelle Johnston - what can you say? She is fierce in everything she does.... "Staying Alive", "A Chorus Line", "Showgirls", the Tony Bennett special, "Chicago", "Dick Tracy", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"... I see her in movies and television all the time and she' s a big time choreographer I hear. WOW - Work it out miss thang!!!

[thalialoca]

I can´t find anything abourt her on youtube. Do you have any links which shows her.

[retoricalanswers]

her back is sooooooo flexible! i love this part too!

[thalialoca]

This part of the movie has effected my life more than any other movie. Can you believe that? Am I alone with it? Well probably yes.

[dogodogo78]

you're definitelly not alone in this. This is the best scene I have ever seen in a movie. It makes me chill, it makes me wanna cry. It makes me feel like there is something missing in my life. Her moves,her face are so intense.. I want to watch it over n over again..

[n2collants]

Dogodogo78, please see my other reply on this video.

[n2collants]

First, I'll say that I agree with "dogodogo78", This is one of the most intense scenes ever shot. Thank you Hollywood.

Hi thalialoca, you're not alone. It;s not uncommon for anyone to identify with a well shot and acted scence from a movie. That's what the writer was hoping for.

Our minds are so fraigle. Enjoy life. It's so damn short.

[thalialoca]

I thought about what you and "dogodogo78" and "luckysmartgirl2 " said. So I come to the conclusion that she somehow managed to transform and expand the moment of an orgasm to dance. Imagine a tecnic or an art which can deliver these feelings. That would be better than paradise. That would explain why this scene is so powerful. As she looks "innocent " "first orgasm" comes to mind. That is what GoGo Dancers and Striptease Dancers also try to evoke.

[CanisMaximusTV]

@thalialoca nope, me2

[thalialoca]

@CanisMaximusTV

You came late to the party ;-)

Who else?

[luckysmartgirl2]

I agree w/ everyone...that was my favorite part of the whole movie! Her dancin' is outta this world

[xHeyItsChe]

This was my favorite part of the movie :)

[Sarahlou2485]

I wish I could dance that well - alas, I am hopeless.

[lovedarlingjulie2435]

@Sarahlou2485 same! although...i'm not hopelesss....never lose hope or faith in what you love or want to do!!!

[greengringo2003]

@Sarahlou2485 Darlin', you probably dance better than what, 98 percent of anybody you will meet in your lifetime.

Just keep watching and taking notes on the best, and use those POSITIVE affirmations, like -- Hey, I can do HALF of THAT!! . . . Hey, I can do 3/4 of that! . . . Hey! I can DO THAT! (practice, practice, practice, gets you to Carnegie Hall!

[philiparomeo]

Is this Michelle Johnston ?

[MissMidoria]

yep.

[malikah2006]

WORK IT GURL !!!

[Bryyyys]

That's my favourite part of the whole film.

[NotYourPuppet]

Lose the spanish...this was made in English.

[JustAmodernVampire4]

it's not spanish.

[SwiftFoxProductions]

Well, it's certainly not English. (which I think was NotYourPuppet's point) But, you're right, it's not Spanish. Sounds closer to Italian to me.

[DelMar19]

It's italian;)

[SwiftFoxProductions]

Aha! I was right! ;) Heehee!

[MissMidoria]

Bebe is fierce in any language, babe.

[zungg]

you got the move!!!

[alexkornfeind]

Michelle you are still in my mind! :-) alex k.

[Penelope416]

I remember this scene in the movie when I watched this last year. That girl's dance moves are hot! I wish I could dance like that

[00hey0now00]

this is fierce

[buldgingballs]

This scene really ment something to me at 14 years old.

[Mikli7]

I'm 14... It means a TON!!!! :P Favourite scene in the movie. :]

[hiphopman610]

Does anybody know the song that their dancing to?

[senorlobo1]

It's a derivation of the the Broadway Song by Marvin Hamlish called, "God I hope I get it."

[BroadwaySatege555]

i lOve this partt Of the mOvie.i lOve wen the quyy sayss [hit hitt Or feel] lmaO idkk

[Sydney83]

I love this part of the movie!!

[flipsideB06]

Could someone please post "I Can Do That" clip?

[truenolaboi08]

AGH!!!..My favorite part in the opening scene!!...LOVE IT...she's so strong. You can tell how much drive she has directly from her movement!..." Hit! Hit! Hit! Hit!"....Great!

[MissMidoria]

Even in the crowd she stands out. Awesome!

[courtneylaurenx33]

best actress/ dancer in this entire movie.

she was amazing! total inspiration to female

dancers! <3

[lache1]

i love this movie!

=]

[Penlager]

That chick is hot!!!

I dont care how old this movie is.

that chick rules....

where is she now?

[michellejjj111]

right now she's changing my little sister's diaper. she's a big choreographer now, and she's also my step mom. and she's still as fantastic as ever!

[rizadeira]

if this is true, tell her what i liked the most about this part: her scared face as a little girl... and then suddenly she transformed into the most powerful woman!! nobody could stop her and she ate everyone!!! until music stopped again... WOW... i'm almost crying remembering all this and thinking that i'm not dancing anymore :(

[PiecesOfRainbow7]

Just tell her that this was the best part in the WHOLE MOVIE for me, will ya?

[nsellers10]

i did. she said that was sweet, thanks. :)

[prissyamber]

i've rewound this part SO many times!

[manaya425]

That is the best moment of all cause she was like the shy girl, such intensity! I loved it!

[thalialoca]

exactly. This contrast ist amazing. It shows how much power dancing can give

[crimsonwing112]

whats her name?! shes so awesome!

[flipsideB06]

Her name is Michelle Johnston.

[nsellers10]

That's my step mom!no, seriously i'm not lying. she is a fantastic dancer.

[wardsangel]

I have been trying to find a high quality version of this clip and am SO happy I found it.  I am SO into the character of Bebe (Beatrice Ann) Benson, she was totally the BEST dancer in the entire movie. Her character needed to be fleshed out a LOT more. I hear she was also damned good in Showgirls, if I may be allowed to use the words "good" and "Showgirls" in the same sentence....

[movinon20]

and that's how it's done bitches!!! learn from her.
