A truly impressive spectrum of respected and beloved theater professionals, from actors, producers, and playwrights to lighting directors and hatmakers, contribute brief essays about their most memorable experiences. Commentary ranges from funny backstage anecdotes to serious discussions of the craft of theater. Helen Hayes offers a child's-eye view of Broadway at the turn of the century; Joel Grey explains how he developed the makeup he wore in Cabaret ; Gloria Rosenthal explains the history of the lucky "gypsy robe." Interspersed are over 300 photos, mostly of recent Broadway productions . All proceeds from the sale of this lavish coffee-table tribute will go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. A fabulous box of bonbons for all theater collections.

Along with a broken heart for every light on Broadway (as an old tune has it), there's also a story. Producer Marsolias and AIDS activists McFarlane and Viola here collect tales from those who work in the contemporary New York City theater. The abundant by-lines here are those of the likes of Helen Hayes, Hinton Battle, Joel Grey, Patti LuPone and Harold Prince; there is also an introduction by Angela Lansbury. Arranged in such sections as Audition, Rehearsal and Backstage, there are snippets on life on or behind the stage that are revealing, entertaining and interesting. But the more than 300 photos included are fuzzy and in some cases juxtaposed with inappropriate text. Book royalties will be donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
