‘A Chorus Line’ Veteran Welcomes ‘Hamilton’

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of “A Chorus Line,” original Broadway cast members including Play With Your Food Artistic Director Carole Schweid (3rd l.) were invited to a performance Thursday night of the sold-out new musical “Hamilton” at the Public Theatre in New York City where “A Chorus Line” originated. After their show, the cast of “Hamilton” sang a tribute to their ground-breaking predecessors and then both casts joined together to sing Marvin Hamlisch’s popular “What I Did for Love” Said Schweid: “Of all the ‘A Chorus Line’ celebration events I’ve attended over the years, this was by far the most moving for the actors. The show ‘Hamilton’ will change the face of the Broadway musical today the way ‘A Chorus Line’ did 40 years ago. It was just amazing.” Photo by Monica Simoes
