I was in high school when the drama teacher took our class to see
A Chorus Line at the Shubert Theatre. I don't think I had
been to
Boston to see a play. I'm sure I had seen one in my local
town, but not in the big city. I was blown away, and I wept
uncontrollably for hours because I wanted too much to be an
actress, and it just struck my heart so deeply. As a young girl
wanting very much to go to New York and be an actress, here I was
at a show about people wanting to be actors. So all the music and
all the songs and everything are about that desire and about the
business. To my young mind and heart - it just spoke to me. It's
coming out in revival, so I'm tempted to go see it again. Oh, I was
pretty much crying from the time the curtain went up. It was just
an exciting experience. Obviously, I still have the bug. My drama
teacher was very important in my life, and I was very grateful that
she had taken us to see it. It's, you know, one of those fantastic
memories.
