It ran for nearly 15 years, closing on April 28, 1990 after 6,137 performances. On September 29, 1983, A CHORUS LINE became the longest-running American musical in Broadway history and held this title for 28 years from 1983 to 2011 (when it was surpassed by Chicago).

In 2006, A CHORUS LINE reclaimed its place in the heart of Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre where it opened to rave reviews on October 5, 2006. Elysa Gardner of USA Today called it "Exhilarating and endearing, it still has a freshness and fervency too seldom seen in contemporary musicals," while The New York Daily News exclaimed "There's nothing better! The show thrills from the opening number to the glittering finale," and Jeffrey Lyons of WNBC TV hailed it "An American Masterpiece."

A "show for all ages" this all new production will be directed and restaged by Baayork Lee. A CHORUS LINE will play Friday, February 8, at 8pm. Ticket prices range from $35 to $100 and are on sale now at the Capitol Center box office, 44 South Main Street, Concord NH, online at www.ccanh.com or call 603-225-1111.
