Musical Theatre Guild Presents A Class Act
2016-02-21 19:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Musical Theatre Guild presents a staged concert version of
A CLASS ACT (2001)
Music & Lyrics: Edward Kleban
Book: Linda Kline & Lonny Price
‘Kiss today goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow’; ‘God, I’m a dancer! A dancer dances’; ‘Everything is beautiful at the ballet!’ Those lyrics are from among the most successful, beloved, longest-running Broadway shows of the last 40 years. The intelligent, troubled, funny, gifted man who wrote them is the central character of A Class Act. Michael Bennett and Marvin Hamlisch are among the characters, but you won’t hear any songs from A Chorus Line. The entire score of this quasi-autobiographical musical is from Kleban’s unfinished, unproduced shows. You won’t forget his generous talent, wicked humor, and heartfelt passion.

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Presents Ravel & Beethoven
2016-02-20 20:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States

He is admired for his fresh and bold conducting style and wonderful rapport with musicians, serving as music director of the Ensemble intercontemporain and artist-in-association with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. LACO patrons can enjoy Pintscher’s ‘remarkably acute visual sense’ in a varied program featuring Fauré, Schoenberg, Ravel and Beethoven.
