Marvin Hamlisch and Valerie Lemon perform: “What I Did For Love” from the Musical A Chorus Line.
The seeds to bring this concert to Naples were sown when Terre Blair Hamlisch, Marvin’s widow, took a keen interest in TheatreZone following the rave reviews of the film noir musical Sweet Smell of Success (read review / see pictures!) in January 2014. The musical features one of Hamlisch’s most poignant scores.
