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.
