Theatre: A Chorus Line
Overview
Join a friendly group of Spicers to watch the latest production at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse - your host will meet you in the bar from 7pm.
Tonight we see A Chorus Line: Seventeen Stories. Eight Chances. One Singular Sensation.
New York City. 1975. On an empty Broadway stage, seventeen performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical. For everyone present, it’s the chance of a lifetime. It’s the one opportunity to do what they’ve always dreamed of – to have the chance to dance… but only eight will make the cut.
Told through captivating song, riveting drama and stunning choreography, the auditionees describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers.
Based on real-life testimonies from late-night recording sessions with dancers, these are the lives of theatre’s unsung heroes, as they tell searing stories of ambition, shattered hopes, and what it really costs to follow your dreams.
A Chorus Line is a musical masterpiece that revolutionised Broadway, winning nine Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, the New York Critics’ Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Now celebrating 50 years since A CHORUS LINE first graced the Broadway stage, it is time experience a stunning new production full of heart, music and dance at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse.

By Public Transport: The Garrick is about 800m (a 10-minute stroll) from each of the following stations, served by both Northern trains and Manchester Metrolink trams: Altrincham Interchange and Navigation Road.
The Garrick is situated on Barrington Road, a major bus route and there are bus stops on both sides of the road very close to the theatre.
Parking at the Garrick: There is a reasonably-sized car park, which offers free parking including spaces reserved for disabled parking. The car park can quickly become full for the most popular performances – filling up sometimes half an hour before a show begins.
Alternatively, there are numerous opportunities for parking on residential side streets within a couple of minutes’ walking distance. Parking there can also sometimes be limited and again you are advised to come as early as possible if you want to park particularly close to the theatre.
Please park considerately, avoiding blocking any access for local residents – thank you.
The bar is normally open at least 45 minutes before each performance, so their advice is: arrive early, park early, and relax in the cosy bar before the show!
