1992 Atlantic City Cast 10th Anniversary Reunion May 5, 2002 Pietrasanta, NYC

	Merete Muenter (Began as a cover and then inherited the role of Bebe) recorded many quotes from the cast members of the 1992 production of "A Chorus Line" in Atlantic City. She would read them aloud to entertain the cast at parties and gatherings they had during the run of the show. The production was at the Claridge Hotel for eight months. There are also many classic quotes from the audience overheard by the cast, as the theater was more like a casino showroom, with the audience very much in earshot! Enjoy! Classic Cast Quotes April 22, 1992 ~ Matt Kubicek (Cut Dancer) to Merete, Cheryl Gillette and Sara Smolen (Cut Dancers) after Zach announced the first women's cut after the opening: "Maybe next time."

May 21, 1992 ~ Merete's "Vicki" to Michelle Bruckner's "Sheila": "If only he wasn't so God Damn talented!" Sheila: "That sounds like a quote from a bad movie."

The entire cast raced to watch the TV in one of the dressing rooms during the "Cassie" break, to see which shows were winning. Cheryl Gillette, a cut dancer, was sitting there all ready, nice and cozy, watching the broadcast. When the cast came in and invaded her privacy, she smiled and remarked..."You should all just become cut dancers!" When the cast returned to the stage after watching the Tony's, Merete's "Bebe" turned to Kris Longwell's "Don" and exclaimed:"Oh Don! I'm 'Crazy For You'! I hope you don't think I'm saying anything 'Falsetto'!This is just like 'Dancing at Lughnasa'. Will you look at all these 'Guys and Dolls'?" This clearly gives you an idea of what shows were running on Broadway that year! This quote, said by Michelle Bruckner on June 1, 1992, also gives you an idea of what was the talk at the time:"Whenever I eat between shows, I look like Demi Moore on the cover of 'Vanity Fair'." June 3, 1992 ~During a cast meeting, Ken Romero, who was "Butch" in the opening, was asked why he kept looking underneath his shirt before he did his jazz "Groups of Four" during the performances.

That same drunk guy presented us with an encore later on during the "Ones": Cast: "ONE!" Drunk guy: "TWO!" Cast: "ONE!" Drunk guy: "TWO!" One night, during "At The Ballet", someone in the audience was overheard saying: "Oh, I always confuse this show with 'West Side Story'". And who can forget the timeless quote:"When does the part with the gold costumes come on?" As well as the ever popular quote after "What I Did For Love":"That's the best song in the show, and we had to wait all the way to the end to hear it." Not to mention the two women who left the theater in a huff and went to the box office to get their money back with the complaint:"This isn't a show. This is like an audition or something!"
