The prisoners of Gulag 38B perform "I Hope I Get It" during the gulag show in Muppets Most Wanted. All tell their life stories - some tragic, some comic - and explain their love of dance. A sour director, Zach (Michael Douglas), and his brusque assistant (Terrence Mann) whittle down the ranks until they're left with 16 dancers. One of the dancers says "Oh God, I need this job (referencing " I Hope I Get It") and Earl has them dance to the music for "One." Hundreds of hopefuls congregate at a cattle call for Broadway dancers. In the second season Dinosaurs episode " Career Opportunities," Earl Sinclair dreams of being a choreographer, in a Chorus Line scenario. The same track was used in the Sesame Place stage show, " You and Me at Sesame." A version of " I Can Do That," with some revised lyrics, was performed by Elmo and others in the Sesame Street Live show, Silly Dancing. In a Sesame Street insert, a chorus line of golden, glittery numbers sing the song " One" from the musical. A marquee for the show can be seen in the background. In The Muppets Take Manhattan, during the "Looking for Kermit" montage, Scooter passes by the Shubert Theatre, the show's home during its entire run. THE CHORUS LINE FILM SERIES

It is about nineteen performers who hope to earn a spot in a Broadway chorus line. The show was also made into a film in 1985. and Nicholas Dante that debuted in 1975, and ran until 1990, becoming one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history.
