I have attended many musicals at the Morrison Center but this is the first time that I have purchased tickets in the upper mezzanine. Chorus line is a dance master piece. From our seats, we could observe both the front and back row dancers. Our seats were high flying, low cost and it is a credit to the Morrison Center as a facility that the evening was fabulous. I had been worried that we wouldn't be able to see or hear well. At least in the case of this musical, our seats were fabulous and we had an enjoyable evening.
I'm starting to think that the stage of the Morrison Center is too small for most touring shows. The dancers seemed cramped. Overall, the show was nothing special. There was very little energy - even during the last number. Some voices cracked and sounded raspy. Maybe the cast was tired?
Only good part of the play with the last 10 minutes
We love the film so we thought we would try the live play. We were not disappointed, this was a great show with high energy and great seating!
Very enjoyable throughout! The background music kept us glued to the stage.
The acting as usual was terrific but after leaving the show I felt I learned a lesson about the brutal competition for survival. brutal is the only word I can use to describe their line of work. Wow!
I love A Chorus Line and it's been one of my favorite musicals for years. I sat high up in the balcony, like I did the last time I watched it years ago, but it seems the Fox has some problems with volume. The singing and music volume for the most part was fine, but you could only hear about 30% of the lines the actors were saying. The only reason I was able to follow along with the story line was because I knew what to listen for because I've watched the musical and movie several times before; I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to understand anything if it was someone's first time watching. I could tell that the other audience members around me were having trouble hearing as well because they were leaning in and I could hear them asking each other what a character just said. Frankly kind of ruined the whole experience. The only reason I said I'd recommend this to a friend is because the play itself is a great play.
This was my first show at the Fox, and it was great!
Between the low volume of the voices and the fast pace the lines were delivered, we couldn’t understand much of the dialogue. We couldn’t get the words on many songs as well.Dancing was great!
