Broadway Chorus Line Tickets - For The Revival Show

A Chorus line is a musical that portrays characters based on the lives of Broadway dancers. This is a revival show that first opened at Broadway’s Shubert Theater on July 25, 1975 and closed 6,137 performances later, after nearly 15 years, on April 28, 1990. It was the longest running show of its time until Cats surpassed it in 1997, and The Phantom of the Opera in 2006. Today, that musical is the fourth longest running show in the history of Broadway, after The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, and Les Miserable.

The revival show opened at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater on Oct 4 this year, after it previewed on Sep 18, and is directed by Bob Avian, the choreographer of the original 1975 musical. Broadway Chorus Line tickets can be purchased from the theater’s box office, and from various other sources.

The Original Show

The original show, which opened in 1975, became the longest running show on Broadway on Sep 29, 1983, with its 3,389th performance, and held this record until 1997. In 1976, it was nominated for 12 Tony awards and won 9, including for: Best Musical, Best Actress - Musical, Best Featured Actor – Musical, Best Featured Actress – Musical, Best Director – Musical, among others. A Chorus Line has been performed in 23 other countries, to date.

In 1985, the movie - A Chorus Line - was made, directed by Richard Attenborough.

The Current Production

This is a show by the Broadway performers on Broadway dancers. It is about the casting for a new Broadway musical, where the field has been narrowed down to 17 dancers, from which 8 dancers have to be chosen. For these 17 dancers, this audition is a chance of a lifetime. To act on Broadway – this is an opportunity they have all dreamed of, every day of their lives, and with every drop of their sweat. This is their chance to dance their way into a job on Broadway – the ultimate stage for an actor.

Before a final decision can be made, the director of the play asks them to talk about themselves, about their hometowns, their reasons for being dancers, about their families, friends, lovers, ambitions, and their careers. The show is about these 17 dancers sharing their most inner and intimate moments of their lives. Some are shy and reluctant, whereas others are more outgoing and reveal their innermost thoughts. Some stories are funny and some heartbreaking.

Decorative collectibles at art auctions

I have found many decorative collectibles at art auctions over the years. I have a display cabinet filled with all of my finds. My favorite of all of the decorative collectibles are Pendelfin rabbits.

Pendelfin rabbits captivated my interest when I was a young girl. My dad was stationed in England and my mother bought me my first of many decorative collectibles at an art auction. The bookends that she bought for me are extremely rare and I recently had them appraised at more than fifteen hundred dollars.

I’ve been searching at art auctions in my area every time that decorative collectibles are advertised as being up for sale. My greatest hope is that I can find a Pendelfin item named The Shoe. I’ve been looking for this particular piece for about five years.

The larger pieces of decorative collectibles seem to get really expensive really fast at an art auction. I’ve seen three people at once bidding up the Pendelfin rabbits to a point where the price is just out of my reach. I love these rabbits, but I have to stay on budget when I attend an art auction.

There is one Pendelfin item that I found at an art auction early in my collection that I spend a lot more money than I wanted to. I just had no idea how much a love of decorative collectibles could end up costing. The item I bought was a three inch by four inch little plaque with Robert the rabbit depicted.

I sell decorative collectibles with online art auctions. I find the items at art auctions and sales that I attend in person. I have never resold a piece of Pendelfin. I keep them in my own private collection. My husband bought me a Pendelfin figurine named Auctioneer. I love it.

Almost all of the rabbits produced by Pendelfin are small. These decorative collectibles have retained their value for a long time. Art auctions are a great place to hunt for really cool pieces that are larger and rare. I’ve been looking for one named Aunt Ruby for a couple of years, now.

Aunt Ruby is one of the large size rabbits. I already have Uncle Soames and Mother. These were actually some of the first pieces of decorative collectibles. I found them at an art auction I attended with my husband before we married.

There was an anniversary piece put out by Pendelfin. I don’t think that it is worth what I keep seeing it for new and in stores that sell decorative collectibles. I’ll just keep looking for it at a reasonable price at the art auctions I attend.

I was so excited when I found two big pieces of Pendelfin decorative collectibles at the last art auction I attended. I bought both the one named Toy Shop and the one named The Castle Tavern. They look great with all of the others that I’ve bought and won at auctions over the years.

My sister called me from an art auction last year to tell me that she had found a treasure trove of decorative collectibles. She said that there was one lot that contained nine Pendelfin pieces. I authorized her to pay up to four hundred dollars for the lot because some of the pieces were chipped. I was shocked when the lot went for eighty dollars, the opening bid.
