In the fall of 2006, A Chorus Line came back on Broadway 16 years after its original run closed, and it felt as if it had never left. The new production, put together by alums from the first one, is a carbon copy of Michael Bennett's groundbreaking staging, and the cast recording follows suit. The good news is that Marvin Hamlisch's energetic, pop-inflected score sounds as great as ever; the bad news: well, you might quibble with the staging but when it comes to the CD, there isn't really any bad news. This time around, the songs are performed in the order in which they are performed live, and the recording includes more of the incidental music and the dialogue. Among the highlights are Natalie Cortez's fabulous "Nothing" (check out the Bacharachian trumpet-and-piano arrangements, which aren't all that surprising since co-orchestrator Jonathan Tunick had worked on Bacharach's sole musical, Promises, Promises) and Jessica Lee Goldyn's uproarious "Dance: Ten; Looks: Three." And then there's "One," which remains one of the most memorable songs in the musical-theater catalogue—-lucky for us, we get it twice since it's reprised at the end. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

 its fair.... November 17, 2008
I know own both the original and new one, and the only thing I liked about this one was the song Hello 12. hello 12 hello love was complete, but overall I feel the first one is better. See for yourself. If you can rent before buying you can make the call for yourself.
The Energy level was not there like the first one. But that's my opinion.
 Can never have too much of a great thing!!! March 27, 2008
A Chorus Line is one of my favorite's - At the Ballet - an awesome trio! I listen to this at least once a day. One of the few cd's that I enjoy all songs on.
If you enjoy Broadway Recordings - add this one to your collection!
 close, but not superior January 17, 2008
This new recording is, of course great because it's the new Broadway cast, but when you compair it to the original cast recording, it pales.
Not seeing the show you can only judge the music, and having listening to the original recording for so many years, you get used to its' perfection.
On the new recording: the opening number is slower, but then "At The Ballet" is too fast. "Sing" tries to be funny and looses the charm of the original. "Nothing" falls short of the original's performance. The montages are great here, and nice to hear more music than the original. What is good is the finale of "One", nice new instrumentation. Overall, the music is crisp, and technology has advanced to make it a good sounding recording, and not to put this recording down, it is a good companion to the "gold standard"-- the original cast recording, but after listening a couple of times, I'll go back to the original when I want to enjoy A Chorus Line.
Great recording! October 10, 2007
This is an excellent recording of the revival of the Broadway show. It contains more material than the original and is faithful to the original as well.

A Chorus Line is one of those musicals you have to see to believe. It's all about visuals.
This CD is nice for those who saw the show, however, there is only about two songs that are worth listening to if you can not relate to what is going on.
On it's own, this CD barely floats for entertainment value.
