It would be difficult, indeed, to imagine anyone more qualified
to give us a celebration, from the perspective of an insider, of
the Broadway musical. From the first run of "Guys and Dolls" in
1950 to the recent debut of "Rent," Stuart Ostrow, a prot
DEGREESD'eg DEGREESD'e of the great composer-lyricist Frank
Loesser, has been personally involved in many of the major Broadway
productions of our time. The steadily growing number of fans of the
Great White Way will delight in his reminiscences about the shows
that have shaped musical theater, such as "Hello Dolly," "Funny
Girl," "Man of LaMancha," "Cabaret," "1776," and "M. Butterfly"--to
name just a few.
Readers of "A Producer's Broadway Journey" will certainly be
entertained by OstroW's behind-the-scenes anecdotes of Bob Fosse,
Barbra Streisand, Betty Buckley, Cole Porter, Lerner and Loewe, Hal
Prince, Ethel Merman, and many other legends encountered in his
accomplished career. But in addition to the tales or re-writes,
stand-ins, near-disasters, and moments of theatrical magic, the
author also provides a unique historical perspective on almost half
a century of the musical.
