Profusely illustrated. Broadway is the centre of American theatre and the neon-lit heart of American popular culture. In a style as lively and entertaining as the Broadway scene itself, Ken Bloom covers the major theatres, playwrights, composers, lyricists, producers and performers who have, over the past century, made Broadway the best-known street name in the world. But he doesn't stop there. Broadway is famous not just for entertainment, but for its people - the entrepreneurs both legitimate and not so, the hangers-on and hookers, the bons vivants and the gangsters, and the reporters and writers who recorded (and perhaps sometimes created) the legends that have made Broadway. Complete cross references are complemented by a thorough index making this a valuable research tool.
