A Chorus Line is going back on the road again. The 1975 musical that became the longest-running show in Broadway history will launch a 50-city North American tour Sept. 24, produced by PACE Theatrical Group.

The tour opens in Minneapolis and includes stops in St. Louis, Washington DC, Boston, Cincinnati, Denver and Seattle, among many other cities.

Baayork Lee, a member of the show's original cast and the dance captain on the original production -- and co-author of On the Line, a book about the experience -- will stage the revival.

The tour features Jilly Slyter as Cassie, John Salvatore as Bobby, Mark Martino as Zach, Cindy Marchionda as Diana and Randy Donaldson as Richie.

A Chorus Line tells the story of a group of dancers who bare their souls as they audition for an unnamed Broadway musical. The show won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. Music is by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Ed Kleban and book by Nicholas Dante and James Kirkwood. The score includes "What I Did for Love," "At the Ballet" and "Dance 10, Looks 3." Among its many awards, the show won both the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award as Best Musical.
