Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. On Broadway is not only filled with never-before-heard backstage stories of 20 years of theatrical productions, it's also the first illustrated book to look at Broadway and New York through the eyes of SpotCo, the graphic designers who shine city (and nation)-wide spotlights on the Great White Way. An oral history homage to New York, theater-going, and the creative process, from the actors, actresses, and behind-the scenes people who put on a show, it is filled with so many never-before seen photographs, posters, and ephemera that readers will feel that they are front row-center to the behind-the-curtain process (and drama) involved in creating a hit show. Filled with more stars, images, and remembrances than an opening night party at Sardi's, On Broadway shines a spotlight on the last 20 years of hits, from the innovative and unforgettable campaign for Jonathan Larson's Rent, up through and including Broadway's latest success, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. Readers will be ushered to their front-row-center seat to witness the creativity and creative process involved in bringing Broadway's brightest off the stage and into the public. A visual and oral history of the past twenty years of theater, On Broadway pulls back the curtain to reveal the creative process involved in bringing a Broadway show to the stage and into the public consciousness through the words of Broadway's most famous personalities and the art of SpotCo.
