A Chorus Line features a score by Marvin Hamlisch, a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante and lyrics by Edward Kleban. The West End production is directed by Bob Avian, who notably co-choreographed A Chorus Line’s original Broadway production and directed the 2006 Tony-nominated Broadway revival. A Chorus Line originally debuted on the West End at London’s Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1976 and picked up the Olivier Award for Best Musical, the first year the awards were presented. This revival is intended to be a tribute to Hamlisch, who passed away in August.
