NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Three of the original creators have teamed to bring "A Chorus Line" back to Broadway, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
Composer Marvin Hamlisch, choreographer Bob Avian and designer Robin Wagner all will be back for the Sept. 21, 2006, debut of the play about the lives of Broadway dancers. The production in 1990 wrapped a hugely successful 15-year run that included Tony awards and a Pulitzer Prize.
High-powered entertainment attorney John Breglio, who controls late playwright Michael Bennett's estate, was seeking $7 million to $8 million in capital and a location to stage the production, the newspaper said.
The creative team said they feel "enormous pressure to care for -- and expand upon -- the artistic legacy" of Bennett, who died in 1987 of AIDS.
