Query: A Great Musical Destroyed by Hollywood

A Chorus Line is one of my all-time favorite musicals. The trash job done on this movie version is criminal. From the casting of Michael Douglas as the director to the expansion of the storyline to cutting some of the best production numbers.Richard Attenborough tried and failed to make this movie more than what it ever could be. The expansion of the storyline is to me a collosal waste of time, it's about the audtion. Produstion numbers should have been lengthened not shortened and then the new numbers would have been ok.The only bright spot in this entire movie Allyson Reed in the role of Cassie.Since this is the only opportunity for most folks to see a least a pseudo-version of the musical, it's not really an option not to see it at least once. The music and production numbers work, and even though there is nothing like live theatre the score is great and I love a good production number.
