As with the rest of the musical numbers in A Chorus Line, this song was inspired by real-life stories of dancers. CityBeat explains "nervous Mike...tells how he took over his sister’s dance class opportunity".[1]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

TheatrePeople described the musical style as "lively jazz swing",[2] while MovieMet called it "an energetic, post-Vaudevillian song-and-dance" and added it "will remind film fans of Donald O’Connor’s “Make ‘em Laugh” routine from “Singin’ in the Rain”".[3] Dance Informa deemed it a "potentially exuberant number",[4] and Stage Whispers described it as "cute".[5] It has also been described as a "high-energy number".[6]
