A Never-Ending Line (A Female Song Cycle) [CD]
The star-studded album for A Never-Ending Line is a song cycle composed by Jaime Lozano (The Yellow Brick Road, Children of Salt). All proceeds generated from sales of the album will benefit Maestra Music.
Lozano, named Broadway’s “next big thing” by Lin Manuel-Miranda, developed A Never-Ending Line with a group of female lyricists (Lindsay Erin Anderson, Neena Beber, Lauren Epsenhart, Sami Horneff, Victoria Kühne, Lisa Mongillo, Marina Pires, Noemi de la Puente, and June Rachelson-Ospa).

Inspired by his upbringing in a strong matriarchy, Lozano conceived A Never-Ending Line as a tribute to the women in his life. The songs explore the unique challenges women face in society today on the journey to find happiness, love, and meaning in their lives. The themes of acceptance, hope, and friendship are universal reminders that no matter who we are or where we come from, our lives are all connected through the shared experience of womanhood.
The show had its world premiere in France at Broadway au Carré, the leading American musical theatre concert and open-mic series in Paris, directed by Lisandro Nesis and music directed by Geraldine Anello. It made its North American debut in Monterrey, Mexico - entirely translated into Spanish - followed by a run Off-Broadway at the Players Theatre in New York City. The Spanish-language album of the song cycle, Una Historia Sin Final, recorded by Mexican musical theatre and telenovela stars is currently available on all digital platforms.
The English album is produced by Jaime Lozano, Jesús Altamira, Demián Cantú, and Victoria Kühne and was recorded at Victoria Records Studios (Monterrey, Mexico); M&I Studios (New York City); and GMTWP Recording Studio (New York City). Orchestrations by Jaime Lozano and Jesús Altamira were performed by Jesús Altamira, José Enrique Guzmán, and Natalia Vilchis.
