If you would ask me one musical, that defies all musicals, it would obviosely be "A Chorus Line". The muscial tells the classic story of finding the right person for a show and the stress of getting into one, or in this case, a chorus line. Which is what the people in the documentary of "Every Little Step" are exactly trying to do.
Each of them are auditioning for the 2006 revival of the show, and coincidentally are experiencing the same stress as the characters in the actual show. Will they get it, some really need it, others try and fail but it's all about the show.
The movie even gives us a little background on the musicals history, which i wont give out to much details about, but let's just say, it's very interesting for a musical theater addict like me to see. For others who are not familiar with the show nor know nothing of musical theater, might have trouble with it,nor will understand it. But the film is made for people in love with theater or have seen "A Chorus Line", yet again, i suggest a lot of people see it for their enjoyment.
The documentary does not really follow a certain person or group of people we route for at the end, we just meet people along the way that are interesting and real, just like an actual audition process.
While we get ready to see a show, sitting in the audience, leaving and then forgetting some of it, we forget about the amount of work these people go through just to be in a show. Which is just what this movie shows.
