Theatre Group Asia announces open casting calls for 'A Chorus Line'

Theatre Group Asia (TGA) in partnership with Ayala Land, Ayala Malls, and Seda presents the Worldwide Cast Call for "A Chorus Line.

- 

The company announced open auditions for its highly anticipated production directed and choreographed by Emmy Award-winner and Broadway powerhouse Karla Puno Garcia. In a life-imitates-art twist, the casting process will mirror the very story the musical tells: an unflinching, emotionally charged audition for a coveted spot in the chorus line.

A landmark in American musical theatre and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, "A Chorus Line" revolutionized Broadway by spotlighting the lives of ensemble dancers, the unsung heroes of every musical. As it follows 17 hopefuls vying for eight spots, it becomes an ode to ambition, sacrifice, and individuality. Now, in a historic moment for Filipino artists, TGA is bringing this story to life with an all-Filipino cast, celebrating the global talent and cultural depth of the Philippines.

This local production honors the groundbreaking legacy of its original 1975 premiere while breathing new life into its message for a new generation. The musical is notable for its stripped-down set, iconic choreography, and intensely personal monologues that explore identity, perseverance, and the often invisible cost of chasing a dream.
