The Last Session
''The Last Session'' is a musical with the book by Jim Brochu and the music and lyrics by Steve Schalchlin, with additional lyrics by John Bettis and Marie Cain.
The musical is about a singer/songwriter who has decided to commit suicide to end his battle with AIDS, but only after one last recording session in the studio. The musical was presented Off-Broadway in 1997.
==Background==
The musical is partially based on Schalchlin's life.〔Shenton, Mark. ("Schalchlin and Brochu's 'The Last Session' To Receive U.K. Premiere at London's Tristan Bates Theatre" ) Playbill, June 18, 2002〕 ''CurtainUp'' notes that the musical is a "fictionalized and more tightly focused version of the autobiographical notes that the composer, Steve Schalchlin, has been keeping about his own life in a diary.〔
''TalkinBroadway'' explained: "The character of Gideon is clearly based on composer Schalchlin, who has made no secret of the fact that he has escaped HIV-related death at least three times and was convinced by his own companion of fourteen years, Brochu, to write his feelings out as songs."〔Howard, Jerry. ("Review. 'The Last Session' at The Laguna Playhouse" ) talkinbroadway.com, accessed October 31, 2015〕
