Chorus Line keeps going

y JAY SHARBUIT.

NEW YORK ae) - During A Cheese Line, ‘a young
denim ry

the people in a chorus line.’ He said over the last few months
he’s gotten. a lot ‘of dancers’ over, to) his place ‘and

hoofer
remarks: ONG pile forever, right?”

Maybe. But Michael Bennett’s musical about the hard
lives and high hopes of Broadway dancers sure is giving it a
try. On Monday the show, festooned with rave reviews, nine
Tony awards and a Pulitzer Prize, begins its ninth year on
Broadway.

Barring either the end of the world, a terminal droop in
box-office business, or both, it will officially become the

t show in ay history on Sept. 29.

“That's when it logs its 3,889th perf

Pt their night ‘after night.

“He had maybe 45 houra of tape of them talking about
their lives, their families, how they got into dance. So we,
just took'a day off to play these tapes. They were the most
moving things I've heard in my life."!*,

Is it possible that: A Chorus Line really is just a
once-in-a-lifetime casé of. extraordinary fortune’ with a
reniarkable show?

“Any show. Lone breaks the record for the jongest-run-

the current champ, Grease, the '50s ‘Fock musical that finally
closed in April 1980.

A Chorus Line just keeps on ‘dancing along, outlasting
its competitors, surviving even Broadway's severe slump
last season, when flops d..and overall
dropped by 16.8 per cent. But can it keep it up?

Producer Joseph Papp, whose non-profit New York
Shakespeare Festival brought the show to in

ning on Broad once in a lifetime,” Papp
notes.

“Whether another show can come up and beat that
record I don't know. |

“But I would like to be the'one to do it.” :

At this point, he says, there was no music, no book, no
lyrics. All that came alter from Marvin Hamlisch, James
Kirkwood, Nicholas Dante and Edward Kleban, with
Bennet ing and ch r

1976, offers this not-so-cautious estimate:
“My guess is that it can run forever. The reason I say
this is that we have no stars in the show” — which means no

star salaries — “and as long as we break even we can run.

And new audiences keep coming to see it.”
SHOW IS ‘TIMELESS’

Perhaps the most important factor: “There's something
timeless about the show. It really is about Broadway, about
the Broadway musical theatre which makes it kind of a
perennial.”

Broadway's smash hit started as a workshop production
at Papp's Public Theatre. A telephone call about another
show, a revival of a 1983 Kurt Weill musical about New
York, started it all.

“There was a New York City anniversary conten up
and I was, thinking of reviving Knickerbocker Holiday,”
Papp says. He asked Michael Bennett, a former chorus

‘gypsy” turned director-choreographer, about giving it a

“He came over and said, ‘I'd lke to do a musical about

tt

TENSE TIME
“Some dancers were hired — = Cherus Ling baw ecoploye
83 — and work began on Bennett's concept of a show based
on the harsh, often demeaning experiences of singer-dancera

auditioning’ for a Broadway musical.

“It was several months before it began to take some
form, some shape,” Papp says. “But it almost died a-borning.
Tying the whole thing together seemed a major obstacle.

Papp says he's put $350,000 of Festival funds into the
show at a time the financial wolf was at his company’s door.
There were questions about the wisdom of pressing on with
the project.

But the risk he took led to a smash hit that to date has
grossed, $260 million from all its English-language produc-
tions here, on the road, and overseas, and a movie sale,
producer Papp says.

Has he perchance another hit like A Chorus Line in the
wings? He smiles. “You never know.”

dominated much of the
civilized world.

The more we learn about.
the ancient history of the

amaze us today.

‘The exhibition of some of
the treasures from the

Police are forever mistak-
ing him for another man who
has exactly the same name
and birth date, is about the
same height and weight and
has the same eye color.

Tremblay says he would
laugh the whole thing off
except the other Jacques
Eugene Tremblay keeps get-
ting him in trouble.

The latest episode in the
Tremblays case ended re-

ered they had the wrong
Trembley —again.

It’s been happening since
1959, says Tremblay, a 49-
year-old insulation contractor
who lives in Montreal and
who has no criminal record.

After spending a week in
jail in Montreal, he was
brought to Winnipeg under
RCMP escort and had an-
other stint behind bars be-
fore police discovered they
had made a mistake.

He left the jailhouse both a
free man and sockless, hav-

ith him to a bare-footed
bass he'd met.

Then Tremblay received
an apology and a plane ticket
home from Winnipeg police
Supt. George Clavelle, who
said “this happens — that's
why we take fingerprints.”

Clavelle said “it was a
pretty odd case — same
Christian names, birth dates
and all that,” and it took fin-
gerprinting here to confirm
police had the wrong Trem-
blay.

JUST DOING JOB

Tremblay said in an inter-
view that he was annoyed by
the inconvenience the affair
caused him, but “I’m not mad
— the police made a big mis-
take, but they were only
doing their job.”

His latest round of trouble
with the authorities — it was
his third — began July 11 in
Montreal when a truck hit
his parked car.

Kerry Pearlman, Trem-
blay’s Winnipeg lawyer, said
there should have been some-
thing done in Montreal to
check out Tremblay’s story
“without having to drag him
to Wi .*

Clavelle could not say
whether fingerprinting had
been done in Montreal and, if
so, why the mistake was not
uncovered there. :

Tremblay says his prob-
lems started in 1959 when
the post office'sent his dri-
ver's license to the other
Tremblay, and repeated the
mistake for the next three
years.

“Even my wife is used to
all this,” he said with a grin.
