Offering an inside look on Broadway, this work is based on interviews with Broadway performers, including Julie Andrews, Barbara Cook, Carol Channing, Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn, Tony Randall, and Gwen Verdon. It provides a glimpse at the passion and commitment, the jealousy and heartbreak, that have made their recollections, from trying to get cast in a Broadway show, to keeping their job after successful audition and performing in troubled shows to understudying a star. The book includes discussions of Broadway in the age of Andrew Lloyd Webber, the star system, and today's life in musical theatre as well as its promising and dynamic future.
