Donna McKechnie is a real old-school Broadway broad. She ran away from her home in Detroit when she was 15 years old to join a touring dance troupe. She scored her first Broadway role in 1961’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and hit it big in 1975 with a Tony-winning performance in Michael Bennett’s A Chorus Line. Her one-woman show, My Musical Comedy Life, based on her book of the same title, details what it was like to work in show business. It also portrays her difficult upbringing, troubled marriage to Bennett, and battles with depression and rheumatoid arthritis.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
