Linda Kline and Lonnie Price take a moving, hilarious and three-dimensional look at the lovable lunatic that was Edward Kleban, lyricist for A Chorus Line. Beautifully crafted yet more "real" than most musicals, the show is filled with moments to savor (such as Kleban forced to present at Lehman Engel's BMI workshop, and the way he, Michael Bennett and Marvin Hamlisch arrived at "one singular sensation").
A touching love letter to an original human spirit, A Class Act is the best musical since Falsettos. It's struggling at the box office, so if you've been procrastinating, now's the time to get tickets.
