As I've written here before, "A Chorus Line" is my favorite Broadway Musical and, in my opinion, the perfect synthesis of dramatic and performing arts.
"Every Little Step," in limited release right now, is a documentary look at how the 2005 revival of "A Chorus Line" came together.
The filmmakers had the complete cooperation of the creators of the original production, and of Michael Bennet's estate, and there is a lot of first-person insight into the way the original show was created.
As opposed to "American Idol," where every one wants to be a "Star," this move (and the play) is all about wanting to get a job.
And that should certainly resonate at this point in time.
