Book - Broadway Day and Night
by Ken Marsolais & Rodger McFarlane
1992 - First Edition Hardcover - Out of Print
 Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS




Much more than just a pretty coffee table book, "Broadway Day and Night" takes the reader 'backstage and behind the scenes' with photographs and, more importantly, with anecdotes and stories which anyone who loves the theatre will absolutely delight in.  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.

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.

Collected in this volume are celebrities from Carol Channing on the art of auditioning to Nathan Lane on performing a Noel Coward play with the formidable George C. Scott; Larry Gelbart writing about being in New Haven (and in trouble) with the original production of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To the Forum" and Uta Hagen co-starring with Paul Robeson in "Othello" while facing segregation & racism in almost every city to which she toured.

Serious and charming, funny and sad in turns, the book is absolutely essential reading for anyone who wants to make a career in theatre or simply is delighted by this profession and art. Not just performers are represented, but costumers, wig makers, stage managers, casting directors, conductors, etc. The people included are the cream of the crop. And they are willing to share sometimes intimate--always entertaining stories of their lives and profession.
