The central premise of the Kirkwood-Dante-Kleban-Hamlisch Broadway musical A Chorus Line is by now overly familiar, examining as it does the 17 actors auditioning for spots in a chorus line on the Great White Way. Recalling Donn Pennebaker's Moon Over Broadway and other similar efforts, documentarians Adam Del Deo and James D. Stern's film Every Little Step travels behind the scenes of the auditions for 2006 revival of A Chorus Line to investigate the goings-on and the interplay among the hopefuls. The film thus establishes a neat corollary between the events of the play itself and the offstage experiences of the aspiring tryouts. On top of this, Stern and Del Deo work in a layer that pertains to the original genesis of the show, and its evolution from an idea by Michael Bennett, who recorded an ensemble of dancers speaking confessionally and used that as the basis for everything else. Here, the filmmakers play those original tapes back, on-camera, thus resurrecting old ghosts; score composer Marvin Hamlisch also turns up and revokes the past, courtesy of a revealing and racy little nugget about the history of the tune "Dance: Ten; Looks: Three." Above all else, the film works in extensive footage of the auditions themselves, on songs such as "At the Ballet" and "I Can Do That" -- thus interweaving an aura of suspense throughout the narrative over who will eventually wind up in the production itself. The title of the documentary, of course, is a reference to the lyric of the seminal tune "One" ("One singular sensation, every little step she takes"). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Every Little Step
New Review For Movie Every Little Step
It's all up there on the screen in this impassioned, exhilarating documentary. They want to dance for you. It's what they did for love.Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com
I was thrilled and moved by Every Little Step, despite the abundance of bad dancing pouring out of reality television these days, because it's about the real thing, and offers marvellous insights into of the process of creating a Broadway hit.
Ruth Hessey-MovieTime, ABC Radio National
A riveting documentary from James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Every Little Step never rises above being a very good showbiz documentary. But it's an engaging tribute to a groundbreaking musical.
Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Every Little Step is a terrific documentary history lesson about how Michael Bennett rounded up a bunch of New York singing, acting dancers, interviewed them and found out what they 'did for love,' back in January of 1974.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
You can't judge A Chorus Line by its film version; it's one of the lousiest movie musicals ever. But you can assess the stage original's influence by the wonderful new documentary Every Little Step.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune
The documentary, edited down from some 400 hours, is packed with crowd-pleasing moments.
David D'Arcy-Screen International
Like the dancers themselves, this documentary has heart.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis
The tights and the hairstyles may have changed a lot in 30 years, but the desperation and the elation remain the same.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Dedicated theater rats might enjoy it, but it's too one-dimensional to qualify as a singular sensation.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
It says nada about Broadway that hasn't been said better many times before.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Broadway fans -- as well as aficionados of A Chorus Line -- should get a kick out of Every Little Step.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
A film that's a bit Chorus Line and a bit American Idol, with hopefuls finding themselves auditioning for the very people who created the landmark show in which they wish to appear.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian
Feeds our ever-growing need to root for talented performers seeking that proverbial big break.
Sean O'Connell-Charlotte Weekly
All the dancers who move towards the final cut are so good that the line between success and failure seems cruelly arbitrary and the disappointment of those who don't make it is acute. But nobody's giving up.
Sandra Hall-Sydney Morning Herald
A straightforward boosterish movie about the glory of musicals.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly
We're left with a deep sense of admiration for those who are prepared to face rejection routinely in pursuit of a dream.
Nick Dent-Time Out Sydney
There is something piercingly affecting about this film and it's mainly to do with how much this particular musical means to the dancers and singers whose lives it represents.
-At the Movies (Australia)
There are still plenty of engrossing aspects to the film, moments in the audition process that demonstrate the complexity of performance.
Philippa Hawker-The Age (Australia)
This fascinating American made documentary tracks a disparate group of dancers trying out for a range of roles in a Broadway revival of the iconic stage musical A Chorus Line.
Leigh Paatsch-Daily Telegraph (Australia)
Just as powerful as the original musical -- keeps you glued to the fascinating and heartbreaking audition process.
Jenni Dawes-FILMINK (Australia)
Fantastic behind-the-scenes sing/dance documentary which gives much more insight into the audition process than all those TV shows.
Sara Klein-Empire Magazine Australasia
An irresistible mix of high drama and intimate stories
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
A rousing glimpse into the life of a dancer, this involving, moving and thrilling documentary revisits choreographer Michael Bennett's multi-award winning stage show by brilliantly cross-linking it with auditions for its 2006 New York revival
