a chorus line 💖
⭐⭐⭐⭐
seen: live, 1 time | 2017, student production, as part of crew
notes: i helped stage manage this with zero background knowledge of this particular show. i thought our cast + crew was very good and it was one of the better productions i saw at my school, although i may be very biased. i count all the times i saw it as one
