EVERY LITTLE STEP

**Ends Thursday, June 25th**

"Electrifying! It hits you in the gut." - David Ansen, NEWSWEEK

"Thrilling, moving and emotionally rich! An artful drama of winning, losing, and working one's butt off for the love of the stage." - Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Gripping! A superb chronicle of the struggles and the giddy triumphs of the theater." - Michael Riedel, THE NEW YORK POST

"Heart-stopping! A large triumph! How long has it been since a movie left you literally speechless?" - Joe Morgenstern, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

You'll get a kick out of this acclaimed documentary following the legendary Broadway musical A CHORUS LINE from its initial conception in the '70s through its recent smash-hit Broadway revival, exploring along the way all the nerve-wracking auditions, the backstage drama, the grueling rehearsals and the play's lasting cultural legacy as One Singular Sensation.

EVERY LITTLE STEP goes behind the scenes with exclusive interviews and footage of the revival's audition process, revealing the dramatic journey of the performers, and unfolding the story of life imitating art. The real dead-of-night conversations in a dance studio that inspired A Chorus Line were recorded to audio tapes which have been locked away for decades. The filmmakers, James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo, were granted unprecedented access to the tapes, which are shared here for the first time. Interviews, then and now, with the creative minds who shaped A Chorus Line and the cast who realized it provide fascinating insights and reveal the hidden truths behind the genesis of the show, which blasted onto the mid-'70s cultural landscape during a volatile time (post-Vietnam and Watergate, the decline of the hippie movement, an uprising in civil rights, womens' rights and gay rights, etc.), and its storyline involving everyday individuals struggling to find personal/artistic fulfillment connected with audiences looking for the same thing, sparking a renewed interest in theater, new trends in fashion, and new inspiration for storytelling.

Ultimately, as in the story of A Chorus Line, and just as in life itself, only a few can prevail. Out of the thousands of hopeful performers who audition, only 19 are chosen to open the revival on Broadway. Their lives are interwoven with one of the world's greatest musicals, their hopes and dreams hanging in the balance. This is their story, and the story of the phenomenon known as A Chorus Line.
