SHORT TAKES : Sculpture for ‘Chorus Line’
If eight dancers who played Cassie in “A Chorus Line” have their way, Broadway’s longest-running show will have a permanent tribute in the lobby of the Shubert Theater.
Donna McKechnie, Ann Reinking, Vicki Frederick, Pamela Sousa, Cheryl Clark, Deborah Henry, Wanda Richert and Laurie Gamache are part of a committee announced Tuesday to raise funds for a bronze sculpture honoring the musical.
The show closed last April after 6,137 performances over 15 years.
The committee hopes to raise between $35,000 and $50,000 for the sculpture, to be designed by Immi Storrs.
Two fans who saw the show a total of 70 times--Gary Stevens and Alan George--came up with the idea for the sculpture.
“We wanted to do something we hoped everyone would want to be a part of,” Stevens said. “ ‘A Chorus Line’ is not only a tribute to the creativity and magic of the Broadway theater, but to the memories and dreams of us all.”
