Although this film is classified as a documentary, Charlotte d'Amboise, one of the stars of the revival of A Chorus Line, told Playbill Magazine that several scenes in the film, including the ones in which she and Jessica Lee Goldyn get phone calls informing them that they have been chosen for the cast, were staged - recreated for the documentary cameras. d'Amboise said that when they filmed her pretending to receive the news that she'd been cast, there was actually no one on the other end of the phone line with her.
Michael Bennett, who conceived, choreographed, and directed the original production of A Chorus Line, was already a successful, Tony winning Broadway figure, having done Promises, Promises, Company, and Follies.
