Item Description
When A Chorus Line opened at the Shubert Theatre on June 25, 1975, Donna McKechnie was already an established Broadway performer, having appeared in the original companies of Promises, Promises and Stephen Sondheim's Company, among others. A Chorus Line made her a star. Much of her story in the role of Cassie was born from her own experiences throughout her dance career. Her stunning performance of "The Music and the Mirror" helped earn her the 1976 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.
McKechnie originated the role through the workshops, Off-Broadway and Broadway iterations, and stayed with the musical through its first national tour. While she has gone on to give many other acclaimed performances, she will forever be associated with Cassie.
This sketch by legendary artist Al Hirschfeld features McKechnie in her dance solo from "The Music and the Mirror." It was first published in The New York Times' Friday theatre column on October 3, 1986.
This giclée, part of an extremely limited edition, is printed on 15" x 18" hot press paper and has been generously autographed by Ms. McKechnie. The edition is numbered, includes the official Hirschfeld Foundation embossed seal and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity directly from the Al Hirschfeld Foundation.
