WELCOME TO A CHORUS LINE Dear Friends, In the early 1970s, Broadway was in a slump. Musicals were flopping and Broadway dancers found themselves without employment. Along came two dancers, Michon Peacock and Tony Stevens, who had an idea to create a performing troupe of Broadway dancers. They took their concept to their friend and choreographer Michael Bennett, who got his start as a Broadway chorus dancer. But Bennett had another idea: a new musical about chorus dancers. On a wintery Saturday evening in January 1974, Bennett assembled a group of dancers who sat in a circle and told their life stories into a tape recorder for 12 hours (those recordings still exist). There was so much material, a second session was held and recorded. These stories, along with additional material contributed by the dancers as the show was developed in its workshop phase, would form the nexus of the its story. There was no real script in the show’s development phase. Each role was organically created suiting the talents and the personality of the person playing it. Composer Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Edward Kleban fashioned songs for the show as characters were developed. The workshop period of the show was pioneering as cast members weren’t used to being such a major part of the show’s creative process. When A Chorus Line opened in 1975, it was such a hit that it secured the Pulitzer Prize and other major awards going on to become one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history. Since we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Moonlight and A Chorus Line is part of that celebration, the timing of honoring the backbone of every production — the chorus dancers — couldn’t be more appropriate. For all the artists over the past four decades who have danced and soared on and above the boards of The Moonlight’s stage, we celebrate you, your lives, and your stories. Sincerely, Colleen Kollar Smith Executive Producer

NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Hector Guerrero

When the opportunity to direct and choreograph A Chorus Line was proposed to me, I became excited because it is unquestionably one of the greatest musicals of our times. A Chorus Line represents the angst, insecurity, and passion of the working artist. It is not an easy life and art is not, nor has it ever been, easy.

One of the messages of A Chorus Line — tenacity, hanging tough and overcoming rejection — hits close to home for me on many levels, but I will never forget the pain and wretchedness that comes from doing what I love. I also learned that it could toughen your fiber. It gives you strength to spring back. Follow your heart, know that it can be risky and sometimes painful, but always adventurous. It can as well build character. Without the support of an audience, the art of theatre would not exist. Thank you for your support. Ah-5-6-7-8!

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF

Broadway's Best Under the Stars!

Oliver!, The Moonlight’s inaugural production. July 1981.

It began with a walk in the park… On a breezy spring day in 1981, Kathy Brombacher took a walk in Brengle Terrace Park. Upon seeing a Kathy Brombacher, Founding Artistic Director Emeritus bare cement stage set against the backdrop of tall eucalyptus trees, she conceived the idea of summer musicals under the stars performed with live orchestras. Assembling a community of theatre makers, the “Vista Summer Theatre Festival” produced two musicals, Oliver! and The Boyfriend in 1981. From every year on, except for 2020, The Moonlight has produced 220 musicals and plays in the Amphitheatre and the AVO Playhouse in downtown Vista. In our 40th anniversary summer season, we celebrate the gifts theatre bring, the great stories that unfold on our stage, the beauty of live music, and the people who make the magic happen. Thank you for taking this journey with us. 18
