A Class Act
''A Class Act'' is a quasi-autobiographical musical loosely based on the life of composer-lyricist Edward Kleban, who died at the age of 48 in 1987. Featuring a book by Linda Kline and Lonny Price along with music and lyrics by Kleban himself, the musical uses flashbacks and the device of time running backwards to retrace the high and low points of the composer's personal and professional life.

In contrast to ''A Chorus Line'' however, the piece offers a considerab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
