One (A Chorus Line song)

One is a song from the musical A Chorus Line.

Production

Director Michael Bennett explained his view regarding the song's inception and placement within the show:^[1]

I want the audience to walk out of the theatre saying, 'Those kids shouldn't be in a chorus!' And I want people in the audience to go to other shows and think about what's really gone into making that chorus . . . It fades with them kicking. That's it. That's the end of the show. There are no bows. I don't believe in bows, just the fade out. That's what a dancer's life is.

Critical reception

CityBeat described the song as "the show’s greatest emotional wallop".^[2] The Davis Enterprise dubbed it the show's "signature tune".^[3]

Other media

In 1976, the Brady family performed the song in the pilot episode of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.

On Sesame Street, it was covered by 10 Muppet numbers in a chorus line.

The Simpsons parodied the song in the episode "Treehouse of Horror V".

Catherine Zeta-Jones performed the song, with modified lyrics, in dedication to her husband Michael Douglas during the 2009 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony.
