Based of the life of lyricist Ed Kleban, A Class Act is a touching, yet stirring look at the life of one of Broadway's most underrated composers. Using flashbacks to tell his story, a group of friends at a memorial reflect on the ups and downs of Kleban's life, which include writing lyrics in the smash A Chorus Line and battling mental illness. An emotionally charged peek into the creative process, this Tony Award-nominated show will inspire you to follow your dreams and discover the gentlemen, genius and pain in the butt that was Ed Kleban.

$25.00
Our Price:
COMP - $12.50

Fight Girl is E-V, a tough-as-nails prizefighter who also happens to be the last human woman in the galaxy. Battle World is her planet, a place where all the alien races come together for epic battles to the death and spectators bet on the outcome. E-V has much more to worry about than her next fight, though. She is being pursued by the United Galactic Alliance -- an evil empire on the verge of eradicating humanity. This science-fiction satire from Qui Nguyen, the creator of the 2011 InFusion Theatre Company hit Soul Samurai, gets its Midwestern premiere with this production, which is packed with innovative video projection, puppetry, stage combat and more. A Critic's Pick in Time Out Chicago, the show stars Sheila O'Connor as E-V. Learn More

It is the life story about a very talented and emotionally challenged man who wrote the words for A Chorus Line. His music, which was not used in the play, was beautiful and the fact that the Broadway producers only wanted his lyrics caused him great angst.

Description

A darkened theatre, New York City, 1988. Friends gather for the memorial of one of Broadway’s greatest – but least known – music makers. He was the man who wrote the lyrics “One Singular Sensation” for A Chorus Line and nothing could have described him better. Nominated for the Best Musical Tony Award and featuring music Stephen Sondheim said he “wishes he’d written,” it is the moving and emotionally charged true story of turning your life into art.
