I cry for joy whenever I see this because I recall seeing it on Broadway in 1979 and it was so jaw-droppingly fabulous that I thought "I will NEVER see anything better than this!" In person it was so extraordinary and magical.
Omg I danced this choreography and it was the time of my life...maybe I can't dance anymore today but it will remain in me forever and for that I am thankful 🙏
Gorgeously done, loving the (intentional) irony of a song celebrating the unique, individual charisma of 'one' while part of a lock step crowd of people singing and dancing in unison. Fantastic play!
I had a wonderful career as a studio backup singer and met Marvin Hamlisch very early on in his career. It was way before A Chorus Line and he had written a song and needed a demo of it. He was high strung and suffering from an ulcer, God bless him! He was very kind to me. I was thrilled in subsequent years for his enormous success, so we’ll deserved. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us, Marvin. RIP
Such outstanding precision and class using such a large group of dancers is magnificent. A much talented cast, plus a genius choreographer, costume designers, musicians, etc., created this masterpiece making it a big success.
A couple of years ago a friend was doing a crossword puzzle and asked if I knew a song, with 3 letters. I instantly said "One" and started singing the song I saw the play on Broadway I think early '80's and remembered this finale so vividly as we had seats close up. All the golden outfits, the precision choreography was unforgettable. I described it all to my friend. A beautiful memory!😊❤️🌹🇺🇸
I had the VERY VERY great honor to meet Mr. "A chorus line" himself, Marvin Hamlisch who played at The Bergen Performing Arts Center (Back then it was called "The john harms center for the performing arts") in my hometown of Englewood, NJ, I was moved by the way he could make the piano sing and more. And i wanted to share that with you sincerely. :)
I love these Broadway classics. If these songs don't get past the NY critics - they don't stay on Broadway very long. This one of my fav'rites! Thanks for postin'.
I know a lot of people don't like the movie, but i'm glad they made this movie it's for all of us that will never get a chance to see it on stage. Love this part of the movie, the dancers are very talented and very good dancers i wish i could see it live, but thats not gonna happen, so i bought the movie personally i like the movie very much, especially the auditions at the first part of the movie
Indeed, but the greatest "A Chorus Line" finale was a special, one-time-only live event on Broadway involving, I think 300 former returning choristers, hundreds of whom performed the routine in the aisles to a thunderous standing ovation.
You dont see many movies do you? Horrible reviews, terrible actors and Michael Douglas in a role that almost ruined his career. Songs not sung in order with an actress up in the rafters singing for whom? Maybe you should try Funny Girl, Oliver, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, GiGi, and CHICAGO to name a few-ALL BEST PICTURE OSCAR WINNERS except for Funny Girl which gave Streisand her Best Actress win.
Having seen the original many years ago, and having "One" performed by friends at my retirement party, A Chorus line will always have a special place in my heart.
I want to thank the young man who, in 1978/79 insisted that I would not be disappointed if I bought a ticket to this magical musical at the Chicago Shubert. I was waiting in line with friends and made the comment that I did not think A Chorus Line would appeal to me. Wow, was I wrong! What a great production it was so... thanks again, young man!
Saw the original Broadway production of this and saw it many times since. This is a simple but fantastic show, and in the theatre this is a fantastic number--it's hard to capture the power in a video... but thank you for posting it! One of my favorite musicals of all time.
OMFG.....i have had a shitty SHITTY WEEK.....i happen to catch u'r comment......I CAN'T QUIT LAUGHING.....MY SIDES ARE KILLING ME.....LMFUCK'NAO.......i have always hated the movie of this amazing AMAZING musical....the movie just plain ass'd suck'd.....i remember sitting there watching it in the theater telling my friend, "lets get the hell outta here".....but we stayed thinking that the finale would be perfect.........and it was just what you said, even on the big screen......all these years i have been searching for the words to describe how it looked to me.........you are brilllant......still LAUGHING....THANK YOU so very much......please know that you touched another human today....your comment makes me know that LAUGHTER and SNARKY BRILLIANT remarks make me laugh and make me wanna go on...........TY
@@pickledherring4136 Chillax, the guy said he had a shitty week. Blowing off some steam by exhibiting excitement over a UA-cam comment wouldn't hurt anyone.
I absolutely love this musical!! I danced this choreography about 2 years ago for our opening number “New York, New York” my opening number theme was broadway! ❤️
Don’t you all love dancing . Not the best film but my goodness, what a fabulous finale! Keep dancing my friends during the crisis. It makes you feel better. To dance is the best. I did it for a living & my gosh, I wouldn’t change a moment of my life! Penny.
Senior year. Choir trip to NYC. 1983 & my 2nd Broadway show. Overdue apologies to everyone in the balcony for the 45 kids singing along to the entire show. ❤
The kicks...in a smaller cast size...are incredible to watch...and give me chills. Not that this isn't good...but when I see a small group of like 15-20 do it...I tear up.
I liked the movie but The stage play was just awesome. I will always remember how thrilled I was when they went into the finally. Great play and I follwed it up with Phantom of the opera on stage in san fran. Still remember both of them as if it was yesterday
This is the musical that changed my life and got me into dance class finally. Thank you so much for your beautiful music, Marvin. You brought so much joy and beauty into this world.

The excess of the scene is just stunning! You really don't have to go that far to create a stunning sensation, but these people went the long mile. (and I bet it was a memorable view/music for everyone that was fortunate to see this show! in this iteration).
Prefect send-off tribute to today's passing of the solid gold One, Tina Turner. Who knew Chorus Line would be so prescient. Second best to none. R.I.P.
I cry for joy whenever I see this because I recall seeing it on Broadway in 1979 and it was so jaw-droppingly fabulous that I thought "I will NEVER see anything better than this!" In person it was so extraordinary and magical.
I also saw this in 1977, and was blown away by it! So fabulous!!!
I'll neverrrrr forget it either. I didn't see it on Broadway, though. Maybe someday I'll see something there😘
My first Broadway show ever c.1976

Thank you Marvin for writing great music. RIP
I remembered seeing this live when I was a kid, it was soo memorizing especially with all that gold. A beautiful and memorable ending!!
Proper show choreography and a proper show song. It's got it all.
"Dreamgirls, Company, Chorus Line, these three shows are quite divine."
omg 7 years old comment
you know, my grandpa played in the pit for the Broadway show.
Rest in peace grandpa. I love you:)
"one" of the best show tunes ever,.Thanks Marvin
This song is the epitome of Show Tunes! This is what Musical Theatre is all about!!! Still my favourite! Thanks for posting!
Such outstanding precision and class using such a large group of dancers is magnificent. A much talented cast, plus a genius choreographer, costume designers, musicians, etc., created this masterpiece making it a big success.
So freaking amazing! Between the choreography and director and set designer!!! Absolutely Stunning!
Legend has it they're still kicking.
And multiplying😧
Congratularions to the choreographer and dancers a very superb performance..
I love this part! We did this for show choir last year for our spring concert!!!
one of the best ending sequences EVER!!!!!

I love these Broadway classics. If these songs don't get past the NY critics -
they don't stay on Broadway very long. This one of my fav'rites!
Thanks for postin'.
omg the amount of people on that stage in unison, in addition to the mirrors in the back is really dizzying. But love this song!
doreoreos It’s to emphasize how they all look the same and you can’t tell the difference between any of them anymore.
@@mrhupwop981 except for the one who loses her balance and falls down.
Oh, I thought they did it with mirrors
I know a lot of people don't like the movie, but i'm glad they made this movie
it's for all of us that will never get a chance to see it on stage.
Love this part of the movie, the dancers are very talented and very good dancers
i wish i could see it live, but thats not gonna happen, so i bought the movie
personally i like the movie very much, especially the auditions at the first part of the movie
I LOVE the movie and since not everyone can just pop into a Bway play, it's terrific!
The movie doesn't allow me to understand the accolades it received on Broadway.
The greatest finale ever in a musical movie!!!!

Never got tired of seeing it live, any where by whom ever. Thanks for posting it.
Non la meilleure west side story
This was my first Broadway musical; saw it in Austin and San Antonio in 1997; I am still in love with it!!!
I absolutely love this musical!! I danced this choreography about 2 years ago for our opening number “New York, New York” my opening number theme was broadway! ❤️
We did this as our finale, with the entire dance school. Including one of the original dancers, as the lead.
Listen to this before you go to bed, and you'll be up all night long.
All you'll hear for hours is this.
Doing just that!!

This is why I fell in love with dance❤️❤️
After all of these years it's still the best musical ever, and this presentation is phenomenal!
One of my favorite movies. Wish I could have seen this on Broadway in the 80's. :(
**sees comment was posted 10 years ago**
Me: "Are you still alive?"
soulassassin0g 😂😂
Damn, me too. My dance company did a version of this play and boy, did I wish I could’ve seen this on broadway back then.
Still gives me goosebumps, in 2022!
I saw this show when it first opened in NYC....standing room only! What a wonderful performance it was!
Ce film est juste génial ; j'en garde un très bon souvenir quand je l'ai vu au cinéma pour la première fois.
MICHAEL BENNETT!!!!!!!!!! Terrific choreographer!~!!!

One of my favorites of all time. How can someone not like this?
My elementary school trip was to see this on Broadway in 1984. It was amazing and I never forgot this song.
My absolute favorite music video! Thank you!!
I was a Kid and I remember this finale wowed my mind. We need a re masterization of this movie
I love every song in the movie. I can't imagine being able to dance like they do.
2019 still loving this !
Saw it twice at the Pantages Theatre.
Goosebumps, every time!
You know it's a killer song when you randomly start singing it in your head during an exam
SO LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN THIS WONDERFUL SHPOW ON BROADWAY. THE BEST. LOVED EVERY MOMENT
Chills! That’s the power of Broadway and the caliber of talent in every little step they take… 🎩
This is the musical that changed my life and got me into dance class finally. Thank you so much for your beautiful music, Marvin. You brought so much joy and beauty into this world.
excellent all American musical!
This will always be the song I want at my funeral.
Chapeau Marvin! Thank you for the music! You were awesome!
so its true what they say at slytherin house "you'll never be lonely with voldermort"
Perfect. Forever moving......
Attended this about 8 times. Both on Broadway and at Detroit's Fischer. Always has been a fav.
We did this in high school, this "One, "God I hope I get it"
"At the ballet" this is really a great show with great songs!
Lyrics
One singular sensation, every little step she takes
One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who
One moment in her presence and you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best to none, son
Oooh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention she's the one
One singular sensation, every little step she takes
One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who
One moment in her presence and you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best to none, son
Oooh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention she's the one
One singular sensation, every little step she takes
One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who
One moment in her presence and you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best to none, son
Oooh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention she's the one

This is way better than the stage show which I sat through once laughing my head off, even during the sad monologues which were endless
I facepalm so hard
Amazing precision! Awesome ending.
It's just amazing!
Bonita música y fantástica sincronización.
I loved this movie...I fell in love with almost all the characters...
Great musical. Saw it three times.
My dance instructor is Michael Blevins who wears the yellow sweats and red t-shirt in the movie
Neat.
lo mas de lo mas..............maravilloso espectáculo de los últimos tiempos.................un punto de perfecto total............
I like the choreographed syncopation of everyone's sharp moves. This video is the best of all the "One."
I too saw this on Broadway many years ago....one of my best nights.....right next to seeing Phantom....with Sahra Brightmen and Micheal Crawford!
This video got like 100 votes and 100000 views thanks to the new episode of House. What a great show. There is no place like House!
