ColeSmithey.comTimeless truths about the lives and personalities of dancers, that dancer/choreographer/director Michael Bennett captured in his successful musical "A Chorus Line," comes across with vibrant energy in an entertaining documentary that follows the audition process for Bob Avian's 2006 Broadway revival.

Directing duo James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo make use of Michael Bennett's tape recorded interviews with '70s era dancers about their personal experiences to establish the play's original source material that gets reflected back at the revival's dance captain Baayork Lee, famous for playing Cassie in the show's initial 1975 production.

Surprises abound as call-back auditions lead to the casting of the play's seventeen characters from a group of dancers that we come to know as unique individuals working incredibly hard in a highly competitive profession.

Rated PG-13. 96 mins.

5 Stars
