a chorus line

"While A Chorus Line had remarkably little dancing, especially for a show about dancers, it could be said that the entire show was danced: its performers kept moving back and forth in different patterns through the depth of the stage, forever splintering and then reconstituting their chorus line. It was as if the company were one giant, undulating organism forever torn between the shadows of the wings and the footlights down front."

have you ever heard such an exaggerated and delusional brouhaha over people stepping out of line, gabbing a few words, and stepping back in line
