Abstract
The Edward Kleban Papers include correspondence, scripts, lyrics, production materials and ephemera. The bulk of the papers document Kleban's involvement in the creation of A Chorus Line. A Chorus Line, one of Broadway's most successful musicals, won both a Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1976. Various versions of the script and lyrics illustrate the progression of the show from the original production at the New York Shakespeare Festival (1975) to Broadway (1975). Also included are several drafts of the screenplay, and lyrics for the new song created for the film which was released in 1985. Transcripts of early taped sessions with cast members also help to document the evolution of the story. The scripts, lyrics and production materials series are exclusively related to A Chorus Line.
