[grdoxsme]

Tears in my eyes.... can't stop watching... can't stop crying... this is the most exciting thing I've seen!!!

[jefffreemanpresents]

To me, the most beautiful moment is at 3:28. The guy on the left is truly moved. Greatest night of his life. That's what it's all about.

[alexanuchid]

this clip just killed me, I love when each line bowed their head...omg just grand!!!!

[Ninevah77]

@alexanuchid Oh, wow I just wept when they bowed - a little more than when they all started running onstage. If time-travel ever becomes possible, I'm going to be at this moment.

This is the greatest you tube video I have watched. I have loved this show for over 30 years. This was such a tribute to the dancers who made up the "legacy" of A Chorus Line for so many years, off-Broadway tours, internationals, etc. The story is of the dancers--all about them--it is just a joy to see the look on the young man listening to the ovation at the end. Kudos !

[ramblerg]

OMG! I haven't seen this footage in 28 years! I remember watching that live (on that TV show) and was nearly jumping out of my skin! Thank you so much for posting this!

[CROCODlLE]

Dude, this thing was EPIC!

[yankeeangel26]

Already the greatest finale in musical theater, and this only made it more so. Just fantastic.

[pianodude129]

The absolute greatest musical of all time, and this is the greatest moment in Broadway Musical History.

[jus0111]

WOW WOW WOW......it would have been so fantastic to be in the audience for that performance.......its exactly how i imagine the closing number to be (thanks to the movie)......what i mean is the stage full of dancers not just the final 12 or so.......for those who havent seen it.....see....Ev'ry Little Step....FANTASTIC!

Wonderful posting!!!!

[Slightlybent]

Wow - that brought me to tears. Thank you so very much for posting this! A Chorus Line was the first Broadway show I ever saw, so it has a very special place in my heart.

[aclnyc2008]

Thank you sooooo much for this. I have wanted to see this for years!!!  Got a little teary eyed. Simply incredible. Long live Michael Bennett.

[nexypointy]

woww!

[N734NJ]

Damn, that's cool.

[pams29]

That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life! :O (Why wasn't Pam Blair in this performance?)

[SHack7498]

Originally scheduled to be in -- rumor is Pam didn't want to share "Dance 10; Looks 3", which Michael Bennett wanted her to do with Mitzi Hamilton (on whose story it's based) and DeLee Lively. (The night was comprised of Bennett faves doing the roles.) Karen Jablons, another Val, had come in to help reteach Pam Blair the number, and then by the performance, Pam was out and Karen was in. Original cast members Robert LuPone (Zach) and Nancy Lane (Bebe) also didn't participate. Don't know why.

[caravaggio31]

Where can we see the rest of the sohw?

[SHack7498]

I've seen two other Youtube videos, where someone in the audience filmed portions of the Cassie dance, and the Paul monologue. As far as I know, this video of the finale is the only one that was professionally recorded. There MAY be a video of the entire performance viewable at Lincoln Center library.

@SHack7498

Thanks for sharing this. I have wanted to see it (and the performance) for years. I heard in 83 it would become a PBS Special but guess those plans were detoured after Michael's death. The full performance can be viewed at Lincoln Center but only with Michael's lawyer's written permission. For some reason, only OBC members can see it without permission. I was in the 12th row, and along with the opening on the Tonys in 76, were the highest "theatre" rushes of my life! Thanks.

Awesome Mr. Hack! I am so proud to be able to be taught by such a talented person!!!!!
