A Chorus Line musical to close in West End 25 June 2013 Last updated at 09:31 A critically acclaimed West End revival of the musical A Chorus Line is to close at the end of August. Producer Mark Goucher said: "We are extremely proud of this production" and thanked the cast and creative team "for their exceptional work." It has been a huge privilege bringing this extraordinary show back to life on the London stage. We will be very sad to see it close. The musical will tour the UK in autumn 2014 before travelling to Europe. It will take in countries including Germany, France and the Netherlands. The production, which opened in February, was nominated for best musical revival at this year's Olivier Awards, with actress Leigh Zimmerman picking up the prize for best performance in a supporting role in a musical for her portrayal of Sheila. It also stars Scarlett Strallen and former EastEnders actor John Partridge. This production was directed by Broadway and West End veteran director and choreographer Bob Avian. Avian was director Michael Bennett's co-choreographer on the original Tony award-winning production which debuted off Broadway in 1975. Avian was also responsible for directing the 2006 Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. A Chorus Line took shape when Michael Bennett tape-recorded dancers telling their life stories. Over a series of workshops, Bennett condensed those individual biographies into the characters that appear in the musical. The final result was a production that reflected the sexual revolution of the 1970s, both in its language and subject matter.
