Words and music--Edward Kleban loved them. All he ever wanted to do was write
the songs for a Broadway show. When he wrote the lyrics for the phenomenally
successful A Chorus Line, his dream came true. Or did it? Set during the
hey-day of the American musical theater, A Class Act explores the soul of
an eccentric genius whose songs tell the story of his own crazy, passionate
life. A Class Act is an intimate look backstage at the process of
creating musicals and the lives of the people who create them.

Bernadette Peters won a well-deserved 1999 Tony award for her role
as Annie Oakley in this Irving Berlin classic. Tom Wopat of Dukes of
Hazzard fame co-stars as Frank Butler, Annie’s lover who is left
behind in her meteoric rise to fame. The duo is simply terrific as the main
characters. Peters’ singsong voice is enough to
melt your heart; one of Broadway’s most popular and successful
productions.
