A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line was such a fun show because it allowed me to utilize my dance technique and experience in a show. Although there is dance involved in almost any musical, A Chorus Line utilizes dance as a focal part of the story and I loved telling story through dancing. I played Bebe Benzenheimer and her character was a challenge to unpack, with her layers of insecurity and mask of bravado.  I love the many layers of this show, and it taught me to attentively listen while I'm performing, which is a key factor in acting.
