When gay choreographer and musical director, Michael Bennett, brought the show A Chorus Line to the stage in 1975, he changed the face of Broadway musicals forever. Regarded a modern classic, it was the first attempt to translate the real-life ups and downs of the thousands who audition with unending passion to perform in musical theatre.
Every Little Step follows the audition process for a new staging of the show on Broadway with nail-biting tension, tears and a fundamental realisation of how right the original A Chorus Line got it. A joyous, celebratory, thrilling and emotional ride, Every Little Step kicks its heels up with the best musicals ever committed to screen.
"A documentary that combines the history of A Chorus Line with a behind-the-scenes look at how the 2006 Broadway revival was cast, it's a can't-miss effort that knows how to please." Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"A thrilling combination of documentary and musical dazzler." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
