A Broadway icon whose name is synonymous with A Chorus Line all over the world is directing the "singular sensation" itself at City Springs Theatre Company.

Original A Chorus Line cast member and Tony Award® recipient Baayork Lee returns to Sandy Springs to direct and choreograph the musical, playing March 11 – 27, 2022 in the Byers Theatre at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center. Known for creating the role of Connie Wong, Lee has directed many productions of A Chorus Line internationally. At City Springs, she directed and choreographed South Pacific in 2019.

About A Chorus Line

The show follows 17 dancers who meet in an empty theatre, on a bare stage, where casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For these dancers, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. It's what they've worked for with every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives. This is A Chorus Line, the musical for anyone who has ever had a dream and put it all on the line to make that dream come true. One of the first musicals to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, A Chorus Line received nine Tony Awards®, including Best Musical.

A Chorus Line contains mature content and may not be suitable for children under 12.

About the Original Artists Behind A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line was conceived by legendary director and choreographer Michael Bennett.

With music by Academy Award-winner Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban, memorable musical numbers include, “What I Did for Love,” “One,” “I Hope I Get It," and more. Their combined work alongside some great one-liners by uncredited playwright Neil Simon, results in a funny, passionate, and deeply personal glimpse into the lives and personalities of dancers.

A Chorus Line

March 11-27, 2022

Directed by Tony Award recipient and original Broadway cast member of A Chorus Line, Baayork Lee

A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition. Exploring the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional Broadway performers, the show features one powerhouse number after another. Memorable musical numbers include “What I Did for Love, “One,” “At the Ballet,” “The Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama, A Chorus Line was instantly recognized as a classic

The Color Purple

May 6-22, 2022

This musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (and the popular 1985 Steven Spielberg film) spotlights Celie, a downtrodden young woman whose personal awakening over the course of 40 years forms the arc of this epic story. With a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, African music and blues, The Color Purple is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and a celebration of life. It premiered at the Alliance Theatre Company here in Atlanta, Georgia and opened on Broadway on November 1, 2005, where it was nominated for eleven 2006 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Original Score. The London off-West End production moved to Broadway in 2015, winning the Tony Award® for Best Revival of a Musical.

West Side Story

July 8-24, 2022

As relevant today as when it premiered in 1957, West Side Story is widely regarded as among the best musicals ever written. This landmark Broadway musical (with a legendary score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim) transports Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to modern-day New York City as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, struggling to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice. Featuring immortal songs such as “Tonight,” “Something’s Coming” and “I Feel Pretty,” West Side Story is certain to move, charm and captivate audiences old and new.
