The opening was attended by many cast members from the 1975 production, including Tony Award winner Donna McKechnie (the first Cassie) and good pal Thommie Walsh (who played Bobby).

Kelly Bishop, who won a Tony for her brilliant performance as the acerbic Sheila in the original Chorus Line, reunited with the still-magnificent Priscilla Lopez, who earned a Tony nomination for her work as Diana ("Nothing") Morales.
