Donna McKechnie has gone from stage to page, with an autobiography due in September.
Time Steps: My Musical Comedy Life, co-written with Greg Lawrence, will be published this September.
The
A Chorus Line legend is already comfortable with relating her life story, having first performed her one-woman show
Inside the Music in 1998. In that show, she performed songs from the musicals in which she has been featured, and shared anecdotes about her legendary career as well as the stars she has worked with.
McKechnie won a Tony Award for her iconic performance as Cassie in A Chorus Line, and has also appeared on Broadway in State Fair, Company (both the original and Roundabout revival), On The Town, Promises, Promises, and How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, in which she made her Broadway debut. Her regional credits include playing Sally in Follies at the Paper Mill Playhouse and Carlotta in the same show for the Barrington Stage Company. Acclaimed for her vocal and acting talents as well as for her virtuoso dancing skills, McKechnie was also married to legendary director/choreographer Michael Bennett for a time.
The book is dedicated to McKechnie's sister Barbara, her brother Ron and to the memory of Carolyn Ruth and Donald Bruce McKechnie, her parents. Time Steps is 304 pages in hardback.
The book is currently available for pre-order on
Amazon for $15.75 (the list price is $25).
