Edward Kleban, Lonny Price, and Linda Kline’s 'A Class Act' arrived at the Ambassador Theatre in 2001, earning a well-deserved Tony Award nomination for Best Musical and capturing the hearts of the Broadway community. Conceived as an affectionate, deeply clever biographical musical comedy, the narrative utilizes the unreleased, posthumous songwriting catalog of Edward Kleban—the brilliant, deeply neurotic lyricist of *A Chorus Line*—to tell his own turbulent life story, tracking his obsessive struggles to achieve theatrical recognition. Directed by Lonny Price, the production transferred from Manhattan Theatre Club, starring Price in a tour-de-force lead performance alongside Randy Graff.
