A Campaign For 'Often The Hardest-Working People On Stage' — The Chorus
Broadway chorus members won't be recognized in their own categories as part of tonight's Tony Awards. But they might be in the future, thanks to an effort from the Actors Equity union.
Remember A Chorus Line? The immensely popular 1975 musical looked at the stories of some of the people who often work completely anonymously on Broadway.
Tonight, the 2018 Tony Awards — Broadway's highest honors — will be handed out in a ceremony at Radio City Music Hall. Lead and featured actors in plays and musicals will win prizes.
A Choruswas nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 1976, and won nine. But the performers in real-life choruses aren't even eligible to win.
