Each classic is augmented by rich snippets of its history and show context. The book includes interviews with such talents as Joel Grey and Bebe Neuwirth, who helped create some of the most beloved numbers in the business. It’s also peppered with pictures that provide glimpses into the visual aesthetic of each production — and all that jazz.
