Lonny Price stars as composer-lyricist Edward Kleban in A Class Act, which transferred from Manhattan Theatre Club to Broadway's Ambassador Theatre. Sherie Renee Scott, most recently of Aida, was on hand to celebrate the March 11 opening. A Class Act, an intimate biographical tuner, tells the fictionalized life story of Broadway songwriter Edward Kleban (Lonny Price), who always wanted his work played (as they say in the show), "in a large building in a central part of town in a dark room as part of a play with a lot of people listening, who have all paid a great deal to get it in." Kleban died of cancer before he matched the success he had contributing lyrics to 1975's A Chorus Line, his best known work.
