Description: "Ever After is more than a detailed show-by-show history of the last quarter century in American musical theater. It explains how the storied Broadway tradition went so very wrong in so many cases." "New York Times theater writer Barry Singer takes the reader behind the scenes for a look at A Chorus Line's final bow, the creation of Rent, the real people behind Disney's uber-musicals, and even an afternoon with Andrew Lloyd Webber."--BOOK JACKET.
