Heath Saunders (Jesus Christ Superstar Live; Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812) joins the lads on the line as they kick-ball-change their way through Marvin Hamlisch, Edward Kleban, James Kirkwood Jr., and Nicholas Dante’s 1975 musical megahit: A Chorus Line. Topics include the rise of Michael Bennett, the serendipity of surprise playbills, and what it means to produce a show about 1970s labor in 2026.
