Just saw the new documentary EVERY LITTLE STEP.  Fabulous, especially if you're familiar with A Chorus Line, the wonderful Broadway show on whose recent revival this current movie is based.  Starting with hundreds and hundreds of hopeful performers at the open auditions, it documents the grueling process of winnowing down these amazing singer/actor/dancer folks to the twenty or so who finally make it into the revival.  This movie is for anyone who's seen A Chorus Line, ever, as well as for those who've ever known or been or hoped to be a dancer, or really, any kind of performer.  Anywhere.  It may remind you of the recent MET AUDITIONS documentary a few weeks ago detailing a similar winnowing for the finalists in the Metropolitan Opera young performers positions.  Okay to wait for it on DVD, if you have a decent tv.  But no matter what, don't miss it.  And bring plenty of Kleenex.
