Obviously, every theater buff (and library) in the country will want this book. But even those of us who are not quite so high-brow will find that it captures a huge chunk of our cultural lives -- 1980 to 1993 -- and in a medium not so easy to grab hold of. Favorite movies? You can just go rent them. TV favorites? Tape them or watch in syndication. But with the theater, what do you do? This book is at least part of the answer. If you want a seat at the opening of Dream Girls, or to read why Cats was the hit it became, or to dip into reviews of plays you saw or that might be coming to town in revival . . . this is a book for your library.
