In between learning audition moves, they each reveal their most personal stories in interviews with the director, Zach. In the end, only eight people are chosen for the show and get to put on splendid costumes and live out their dream.

For a long time, A Chorus Line was Broadway's longest-running show. Not a typical plot-based show, its messages of hope, insecurity, and dreaming touched people from all walks of life. It was made into a film version in 1985, which did not achieve the same success as the stage show, but offers another interesting look at the concept.
