I think that Kelly Bishop is the girl seen on screen when the "and you can forget the rest" line is sung.

Darling... it is because this cast is the first and the BEST! They must have done this 1000+ times to make their choreography PERFECT. No one is ignorant in any way shape or form. They are in deep admiration in understanding the significance of this piece and the making of "ART IMITATING ART" in it's importance and beauty. The audience is just excited as anyone would be when seeing something simply historical happening before their eyes. So should you!

@ShortySOM If there was ever a story of my life, this musical would be part of it. It really made me fall in love with performing on stage (not as a dancer, though, as a singer). I swear if it wasn't for A Chorus Line, I wouldn't have ended up performing in the West End as I have and intend to do again. See the film 'Every Little Step' about the 2006 revival, for how 'real' auditions are done, never mind XFactor rubbish. It really persuaded me to relaunch myself. Wish me luck!

@metacarple There are different audience responses to different types of work. You would not want an audience to applaud like crazy five bars into the Moonlight Sonata, but it is appropriate for this type of Broadway number. Also, although the audience sometimes applauds loudly, there is never a time when the audience applause drowns out the music. Therefore, it does not negatively impact the performance. I would guess that in this instance, the performers like the applause.

@ronalddenniswatson Thank you so much for sharing. One of the greatest musicals ever made

I think everybody aspiring broadway star dreams of being part of something as memorable and showstopping as this. All I can say is spectacular!!!

@metacarple - No one here is a "Wannabe". If you've rehearsed as much as you say - than NOTHING could throw you off. It doesn't matter what country you come from-completely irrelevant. I'm genuinely impressed that you are Scottish! Very Cool! Acting, unless you're doing it in front of a mirror by yourself, is ALL about conveying emotion so your audience understands the story you're telling. Clapping/exuberance is one of those emotions. Have you never done "interaction" with an audience?

@metacarple I always thought I should keep quiet until the end, myself. That was until I started performing. When you're up on stage, nothing is better than hearing the audience's applause or laughter. This is, of course, completely different for concerts but as for musical theatre or plays, I love a good round of applause.

Fantastic! I am a figure skater and my Ice Theater company is doing this exact choreography on ice in skates. It is incredibly difficult but so much fun. I am so glad I got to see this casts performance because it helps me understand our steps better for when we perform on the ice. ^_^

Incredible!

Had the honor to perform this wonderful piece of theatre. I know that during the original production, there were some "issues" within the cast, but nevertheless I bet it's wonderful to be part of Broadway theatre history! I hope Ms. Baayork Lee & co. plans to do another more "faithful" film version (on the big screen or TV) to honor the memory of Mr. Bennett and the original cast than to live forever with that crappy Attenborough 1986 movie misfire. The movie sucked.
