According to a press statement, the producers are currently finalizing European touring plans to visit Germany, Holland and France, prior to a UK tour beginning in autumn 2014. Producer Mark Goucher commented, "We are extremely proud of this production of A Chorus Line and would like to thank the cast and creative team for their exceptional work. It has been a huge privilege bringing this extraordinary show back to life on the London stage. We will be very sad to see it close."

Leigh Zimmerman, who plays Sheila, won Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical at this year's Laurence Olivier Awards, and the production was also nominated for Best Musical Revival.

The show features music by Marvin Hamlisch, the composer who died in early August last year, a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, with lyrics by Edward Kleban. It is directed by Bob Avian, Michael Bennett's long-time collaborator and his co-choreographer on the original production.
