A-B-Chorus Line



"A-B-Chorus Line" was the working title of a proposed Sesame Street special meant to commemorate the show's 10th anniversary. The sixty-to-ninety minute special was to lampoon the plot of the Broadway musical A Chorus Line, hence the title.

In the special, the Sesame Street cast learns from a newspaper that the show (and street by extension) is now ten years old. A flashback to 1968 takes the viewer to a theater, where auditions are being held for a new educational series. Amid a sea of actors (both human and Muppet) are the current street regulars.

Though the special did not come into fruition, a different special celebrating the show's 10th anniversary, A Walking Tour of Sesame Street, aired on PBS in 1979.
