[STAGE] You know how movies about movies sort of make you feel privy to some secret world that’s usually hidden from us? Well, just think of the mysteries that a musical about musicals could reveal! The acclaimed musical A Chorus Line, which lit up Broadway for 15 years, is here. The musical is about actors and dancers auditioning for a new Broadway production and showcases their stories, song and dance numbers. Another documentary on the dreamers out there, whose romantic and artistic souls drive them to sacrifice an ordinary life on the prayer that their dream may come true… The irony in this musical is that the actual performers fit so well into character, playacting the same emotions, competitiveness and grit that secured them a spot in the Broadway Touring Company. Shows like this give me profound respect for thespians, as well as simultaneous relief that I have no talent that can turn into self-torture. Tickets: Wed eve & Sat matinee: $38, $48, $53; Thu, Fri, Sat eve $40, $53, $58. Call 242-7469. [MOLLY RETTIG]
