Donna Bullock (center) opened in A Class Act March 11 at the Ambassador Theatre, a party attended by The Music Man's Rebecca Luker (whose husband Danny Burstein understudies the Edward Kleban role) and A Chorus Line's Donna McKechnie.
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.
