EVERY LITTLE STEP October 5, 8pm at Tilley Hall, UNB Campus Director: James D. Stern, Adam Del Deo Cast: Bob Avian, Michael Bennett, Charlotte d'Amboise, Jacques d'Amboise, Natascia Diaz Run Time: 1 hour 36 minutes Country: USA Year: 2009 Language: English Broadway has produced many legendary productions, but A Chorus Line and the story behind it remain special. Every Little Step, an audience favourite at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival®, captures the magic of the much loved show by filming the casting process of the 2006 stage revival. The concept is self-referential, given that the very plot of A Chorus Line is about casting a musical, but the filmmakers add another layer by examining how the original show was born when Michael Bennett recorded a group of dancers speaking in confessional mode. 
 Fans of the show may get goosebumps hearing these audio tapes, while newcomers will discover what made Bennett (in the words of A Chorus Line’s finale) “one singular sensation every little 
step he takes.” This is the third documentary that directors James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo have premiered at the Festival. Stern has built a prolific career producing film and Broadway productions. His participation afforded the crew extraordinary access behind the scenes, and for anyone who loves theatre, Every Little Step is cause for hip-swaying, high-kicking celebration.  In auditions, we see performers giving everything they’ve got for songs like “I Can Do That” and “At the Ballet.” We meet the original performers Donna McKichnie and Baayork Lee (whose personality and short stature inspired the character Connie), along with the aspiring dancers who hope to revive those roles. Watching so many talented hopefuls express their different interpretations of each character is mesmerizing. But who will get the parts? The directors deftly follow 
the process to the end – the heartbreak of being cut, the exhilaration of being chosen. The result is one thrilling combination, every move this film makes.  “The highlight of the film is the extraordinary archival footage of Bennett talking about the show and of scenes from the original show... You don’t have to love musicals or even  theatre to love Every Little Step.” – David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle http://www.slamdance.com/news/permalink/2009/9/28/172341.htmlmailto:info@nbfilmcoop.commailto:info@nbfilmcoop.comhttp://madmimi.com/redirects/3fd5ab7d05d14264ffe09a954a036e67?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/cfdec7b56c5c1b464c7728ddbd51fba4?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/aba8832966c785aa141dd0d612b4b4bc?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/01d47c31ffa34f920cfedaf42a1a248e?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/aa03dab7783f83ea3ab5aa996d60a0e2?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/1d7ff362f8157464bf9adf99fe9cac8f?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/ffe20014fceb773c27628dc5c42dc951?pa=259340790http://madmimi.com/redirects/23c04fa2743891d0c05cd56f1278bac9?pa=259340790http://www.nbfilmcoop.com/fs.htmhttp://www.nbfilmcoop.com/fs.htmshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8shapeimage_2_link_9shapeimage_2_link_10shapeimage_2_link_11shapeimage_2_link_12
