Background notes: Edward Kleban’s life and work are celebrated through a musical that blends memoir and song, with a book by Linda Kline and Lonny Price. The original Off-Broadway run debuted at Manhattan Theatre Club Stage II in 2000, transferred to Broadway’s Ambassador Theatre in 2001, and earned multiple Tony nominations. Licensing rights are held by Concord Theatricals, and recent revivals, including J2 Spotlight NYC’s 2022 run at Theatre Row and Vermont productions, keep the show in the public eye.
