A Chorus Line is directed by Bob Avian, who was Michael Bennett's long term collaborator and his co-choreographer on the original production in 1975. Avian was also responsible for directing the 2006 Broadway revival of A Chorus Line.

This revival will become a tribute to the show's composer Marvin Hamlisch who died in early August 2012.
