by the time this film be release i have see chorus line on stage 4 time and and have be anticipate most eagerly the long rumored production of a film of the story . my wife and i be in line hour before the box office open on the day the film be release . it be not just a disappointment and it be a kick in the abdomen . first and the story be move outside and so to speak and by include scene not in the confines of the theater . those confines be a large portion of the meaning and impact of the story . second and third together ( assign your own order ) represent one of the original song and with very dynamic dance number and be remove while a song which be not in the stage production be add . say what . i be confuse . the only reason i give this film 2 star instead of 1 be my admiration for the talent and hard work of the performer . i have now see chorus line on stage 6 time and and wouldn not mind see it 6 more time before i die . it be superbly write and with wonderful music and and heart wrenchingly true story . if you want to see a musical which include a great cattle call audition and i recommend all that jazz . if you want to see the story of a chorus line and see it on stage .
