Have you ever wanted to sneak behind the curtain of some of Broadway's greatest hits including Wicked; Rent; and A Chorus Line? Do you wonder what Patti LuPone revealed to Raul Esparza about Broadway dressing rooms or wish you were a fly on the wall during Audra McDonald's big break auditions? Are you dying to know why Laura Linney would watch Stockard Channing from the rafters each night? From opening nights to closing nights. From secret passageways to ghostly encounters. From Broadway debuts to landmark productions. Score a front row seat to read hundreds of stories about the most important stages in the world; seen through the eyes of the producers; actors; stagehands; writers; musicians; company managers; dressers; designers; directors; ushers; and door men who bring The Great White Way to life each night. You'll never look at Broadway the same way again. This is the second book in a multi-volume series that will tell the stories of all of the Broadway theaters. Volume 2 includes the Barrymore; the Circle in the Square; the Criterion Center Stage Right; the Gershwin; the Nederlander; the Palace; the Shubert; and the Vivian Beaumont: eight Broadway theaters that light up New York City.
