A Class Act Scene Breakdown --- PLEASE HELP!

Can anybody give me the scene breakdown of A Class Act according to the Playbill of either the Broadway and/or off-Broadway production (it would be great if someone could post both)?

Thanks for all the help!

(Also, if you know of any way that I could purchase a libretto to the show it would be immensly appreciated.)

y must you say that marianthelibrarian?I think the libretto is fine. not great, but fine.

I am w/ Marian -- A Class Act is a terrible show. The msuic is good, often almost great...but the show is just awful.

I DO hope that some of you who are call the libretto to "A Class Act"-"terrible" actually SAW the show. The fact that it was nominated for a tony, for best musical as well as a nod for the book belies the idea that it was "terrible".. Show Music magazine (now unfortunatly, defunct) published the libretto in it's entirety.

The basic outline takes place in flashback style at a memorial for Klaban at the performace of Chorus Line where it became the longest running musical of all time. In a series of flashback we get a glimpse of why the creative mind, creates in spite of all obsticals. I found this to be one of the most profoundly moving musicals I have ever seen.

The music was superb. As one of the charater's reiterated "unlike anything I have ever heard". The fact that Sondheim himself had much good to say about Klaban's music may tell you something about it quality.


Many, Many excellent songs. My favorite was "Self Portrait". A song that tells of the fear of self revealment.

LOVED this show in it's entrety.

"A Class Act" will never die!

I know this sounds like a lovefest, but once again I agree w/ Marian: a Tony nom does not mean a show is good. Sunset Blvd WON the year it was nominated just because it was up against a single other show (if memory serves) & the Tony had to go to SOMETHING. And Sunset is another terrible show. I worked A Class Act & saw it every night -- when you do that you usually becoe attached to a show & start to think it's better than it is. We never felt that way w/ ACA -- it was just a bad show. Having said that, some people really liked it. Calling Lonny Price a fine performer, BTW, suggests an unusual take on performers & talent. Lonny is a talented director, but has no biz being on a Bway stage w/ people like Randy Graff as an actor. Of course, none of this answers the original post, so I'll shut up!

I haven't seen the show. but on the cd they have most of the book and it seemed alright. i guess it was one of those "see it to criticize' shows.

Funny, I just got a CD.
