A Biography by Edward Jablonski.
Music makers are among the favorite subjects for theatrical biography.
Though he wrote his own autobiography, some time ago, Edward Jablonski ably fills in the holes invariably left by those recount their own histories. Stapleton is chock-full of anecdotes about the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Olivier, Marlon Brando and more. After many years in show business which included working on Cabaret and Fiddler on the Roof as director Harold Prince's executive assistant, Annette Meyers became a vice-president of an executive search firm. Her latest mystery, like her previous hit, Murder, the Musical, once again takes us behind the scenes of the makings of a Broadway musical. It is to feature its former cast but one of the original dancers never shows up and, as it turns out, hasn't been seen since the original production closed.
