In Nothing Like a Dame, theater journalist Eddie Shapiro opens a
jewelry box full of glittering surprises, through in-depth
conversations with twenty leading women of Broadway. He carefully
selected Tony Award-winning stars who have spent the majority of
their careers in theater, leaving aside those who have moved on or
occasionally drop back in. The women he interviewed spent endless
hours with him, discussing their careers, offering insights into
the iconic shows, changes on Broadway over the last century, and
the art (and thrill) of taking the stage night after night. Chita
Rivera describes the experience of starring in musicals in each of
the last seven decades; Audra McDonald gives her thoughts on the
work that went into the five Tony Awards she won before turning
forty-one; and Carol Channing reflects on how she has revisited the
same starring role generation after generation, and its effects on
her career. Here too is Sutton Foster, who contemplates her
breakout success in an age when stars working predominately in
theater are increasingly rare. Each of these conversations is
guided by Shapiro's expert knowledge of these women's careers,
Broadway lore, and the details of famous (and infamous) musicals.
He also includes dozens of photographs of these players in their
best-known roles. This fascinating collection reveals the artistic
genius and human experience of the women who have made Broadway
musicals more popular than ever - a must for anyone who loves the
theater.
