Every Little Step (2008)

Mary & Bob loved seeing this documentary when they were in NY, and they don't like everything, so I knew it would be a good bet. What I didn't know was that the producers/directors, Adam Del Deo and James D. Stern, also produced/directed two previous docs that sound interesting: The Year of the Yao (2004) about basketball player Yao Ming and ...So Goes the Nation (2006) about the role of Ohio in the 2004 presidential election. Stern was a producer on The Brothers Bloom, Easy Virtue, I'm Not There (the fascinating 2007 movie that looked at Bob Dylan's life with 6 different actors playing parts of his persona and used exclusively cover versions of his songs), and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004), to name some that I can personally recommend. Every Little Step covers the casting of the 2006 revival of the 1975 game-changing musical, A Chorus Line, and intersperses that footage with archival video of the original creator, the late Michael Bennett, and others. 3,000 hopefuls showed up in New York to try out this time, and their stories are seamlessly woven with the true stories that were used in the original. Some users on imdb have taken issue with the authenticity of the documentary, but I don't think this will interfere in the slightest with your enjoyment of the movie.
