Broadway Nights: A Romp of Life, Love, and Musical Theatre
Broadway Nights: A Romp of Life, Love, and Musical Theatre
By Seth Rudetsky
Alyson Books, $15.95
For whatever genetic reason, many queer boys have an affinity for show tunes - and some, of course, are obsessively starstruck about Broadway musicals. Curtain up on good times: Broadway pianist (and more recently performer) Rudetsky’s deeply dishy debut novel is just the thing for their inner show queen. Central character Stephen - a Broadway pianist, as it happens - has been toiling in the orchestra pits for years, his Great White Way career established but stalled. And his love life isn’t going anywhere either - his main squeeze is reluctant to leave a rich boyfriend. All that changes, endearingly, when a friend asks Stephen to become musical director of a new show. Pretty chorus boys flirt with the world, backstage liaisons complicate rehearsals, and old friends finally become happy lovers - this is a gay romance, after all. But the real fun of the fictional romp is the wealth of factual showbiz lore - much of it bitchy and most of it hilarious - that theater insider Rudetsky packs into his charmingly giddy plot.

I really thought this book was fantastic and shows that no one knows Broadway like Seth! I loved that I was able to download the audio version, which features other great Broadway stars like Kristin Chenoweth, Jonathan Groff, and many more, straight to my iPods. It was so much fun to listen to! I got it from here - http://www.audible.com/logo
Happy Listening from one Seth fan to another!!!!
