Cedar Rapids - Theatre Cedar Rapids has announced the casts of A Chorus Line and Burnt Part Boys. One notable change with A Chorus Line is the character of Larry, Broadway director Zach's no-nonsense and authoritative assistant, has been changed to Laura. Set on the bare stage of a Broadway theatre during an audition for a musical, the show tells the story of several dancers who aspire to be on Broadway. All the performers come from different backgrounds and have varying abilities. In between learning audition steps, they each reveal their most personal stories in interviews with the director, Zach. A Chorus Line will be performed in the Main Auditorium. Directed by Angie Toomsen, with musical direction by Benjamin Schmidt and choreography by Aaron Canterbury. The show opens June 26.
