Class Act, A Musical Lyrics

Initially, off-Broadway, a musical played on the Manhattan Theatre Club, opened in October and closed in December 2000. It stayed on the stage only half of the season. Lonny Price, who in real life was a friend of deceased Edward Kleban, acted the leading role in it, and also was the director of this musical. The actors were: D. Hibbard, R. Wills, R. Graff, N. Anderson, J. Freeman, J. Murney & C. Carmello.

This production went on Broadway one year after Millennium, at the beginning of the summer season, in March, where in Ambassador Theatre it lasted for thirty previews and 105 regular performances with such actors: N. Anderson, P. Quinn, D. Hibbard, D. Bullock, R. Graff, J. Blumenkrantz, L. Price & S. Ramirez.

The premiere in Toronto was in 2009 to commemorate the thirties anniversary of the Civic Light Opera Company. In this version of the play the actors were: L. Gibbs, J. Cascone, S. Douglas, C. Moro-Dalicandro, J. Lennick, D. Haines, E. Botosan & J. Kennedy. A distinctive feature of this musical is that in all the productions, wherever they held, leading actor was also a director. In this case, the director was Joe Cascone. Lesley Ansell was responsible for the choreography, and Paul Christman was the musical director. In this setting, the song Don’t Do It Again was lost.
