One

It all started in 1974 when a show was formed out of a series taped conversations of professional dancers. A series of random questions and the answers to them became the musical A Chorus Line. The show ran for 1975 to 1990 and was the longest running show on Broadway when it closed. It won a nine Tony's 1976 including best musical. The show had a revival in late 2006 which ran until August 2008 (a national tour is still running until late 2009).
Sony Picture Classics has put together a wonderful documentary called Every Little Step on creation and life the musical has had. It is filled with tons of behind the scenes footage of both the original production as well as the revival production. Here is a sneak peak at the film which will hit theatres on April 17th.
