Seth Rudetsky taught me how to read!By Jodi DisarioI used to read voraciously- a book a day. Murder mysteries were my thing. Loved them. Couldn't get enough. Then something happened and I couldn't read more than three pages at a time. I simply couldn't pay attention long enough. I was sure I had ADHD or a brain tumor or some other horrible disease. My doctors were puzzled. I think they were just afraid to tell me I was getting old. But THEN I discovered the wonderful Seth Rudetsky. I knew of Seth through his SiriusXM show. I love listening to his backstage gossip. His interviews with my favorite actors are a great way to pass the time in my car. On a whim, I bought Broadway Nights and looked at the first couple of pages. A half hour later, my husband pointed out to me that I was still reading. My poor iPad never felt so neglected. Finished this one and immediately bought everything he has ever written. Planning on going through his trash to see if I can find grocery lists next. jk.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Behind the scenes Broadway RompBy Jeff LinamenBrimming with Rudetsky's trademarked sass, sarcasm and humor; Broadway Nights is a fun read. Following the journey of a gay Broadway Piano sub turned music director; BN is full of behind the scenes-- or the show-behind- the-show mad-capped drama.Rudetsky mixes fact with fiction in this wild New York romp, influenced heavily by his own experiences on the Great White Way.A famous leading lady fresh from rehab, cheap producers, and cheating boyfriends keep lead character, Stephen, tapping as fast as he can. Follow him as he desperately tries to find happiness by achieving his dreams and finding true love along the way.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Ahhmazing Journey Inside Broadway!By Steven RossHaving listened to Seth's radio show in Sirius I was pretty certain that I would enjoy this book and I was not disappointed! Following the adventures of Stephen and hearing him describe what actually happens behind the scenes of a Broadway show is both entertaining and touching. And the Broadway anecdotes that are included made me laugh out loud while reading it! Having heard a few of them relayed by Seth himself on the radio makes me think that most of the Broadway stories (if not all) actually happened.Reading this book makes me wonder how much of this is autobiographical of Seth. Some of the things that happen to his lead character are just too strange/absurd/funny to NOT have happened to Seth or at least someone he knows.If you are a Broadway fan in any way, shape, or form you will enjoy this book! Stephen Sheerin was born to play on Broadwaymdash;or at least, under it. He's a musician, a conductor, and his dream is to music-direct a big Broadway musical. After years of toiling in the pit of some of the best-loved (and loathed) hits on the Great White Way, he's just been given his big break. Can life really be going that well?Of course notmdash;his family is driving him crazy, and his boyfriend can't seem to get rid of his other boyfriend. Add to that an alcoholic diva, the cheapest producing team on Broadway, and a comatose casting director, and you have some of the other characters buzzing around Stephen's Broadway break. Then there's Stephen himselfmdash;neurotic and bitchymdash;who realizes that maybe total happiness is overrated.Narrated by Seth Rudetsky, from Sirus radio and Broadway's The Ritz; Kristin Chenoweth, Tony Award winner, star of Wicked and TV's Pushing Daisies; James Wesley from the Rosie O'Donnell cruise ship; Jonathan Groff, Tony Nominee from Broadway's Spring Awakening; Andrea Martin, Tony Award winner, from SCTV, and currently in Young Frankenstein; Jeff Bowen, Hunter Bell, and Susan Blackwell from [title of show]; Andrea Burns, from Broadway's Tony nominated In the Heights; Andy Karl, from Broadway's Legally Blonde and the upcoming 9 to 5; Anika Larsen, from off Broadway's Zanna, Don't and Broadway's Xanadu; Mary Birdsong (from TV's RENO 911); Billy Porter, from Broadway's Grease and winner of Star Search!; Richard Kind, from TV's Spin City and Broadway's The Producers. Jim Price, from Les Miserables and Off- Broadway's Bat Boy; Ann Harada from Avenue Q and the upcoming 9 to 5; Emily Skinner Tony nominee from Broadway's Side Show; Juli Wesleymdash;Becky's First Grade Class at PS 98; and Sally Rudetsky (Seth's Mom). About the AuthorSeth Rudetsky has played piano in the pits of over a dozen Broadway shows as well as writing and starring off-Broadway in Rhapsody in Seth.

HERE. THIS Book by Hunter Bell & Susan Blackwell Music & lyrics by Jeff Bowen Musical direction by Larry Pressgrove Directed and choreographed by Michael Berresse The Vineyard Theatre 108 East 15th Street (212-353-0303), www.vineyardtheatre.org By David NouNou The foursome that brought us the hilarious [title of show] has given us another little gem. This one is more biographical in nature, with more intimate and personal situations from their childhood to the present day. Set in a museum, it brings together man’s evolution and the intersection of people’s lives into the Now. Here. This. Everything that leads to living in the “now,” being “here” and having “this.” Appreciate it all, because it comes around only once and goes oh-so-quickly. Definitely not frivolous, this is thoughtful entertainment that doles out equal doses of heartfelt humor, humanity, and hindsight. Everything that happened in the past has a way of resurfacing and affecting the present and even the future. The foursome have taken incidents from their past, whether they were good, bad, harmful or pleasurable, and brought them to focus for themselves as well as for the audience. For surely all of us have experienced the same feelings, whether in our adolescence, teens, or adulthood. It is a way to see the similarities in ourselves, have a chuckle at our foibles, and hopefully have grown from the past.

Shaina Taub is part of a new generation of young composers with a foot in each world. She talks to NPR's Ari Shapiro about her new album, Die Happy. ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: A handful of musicians cross smoothly from pop to Broadway and back like Elton John and Cyndi Lauper, who've written big musical blockbusters. Shaina Taub is part of a new generation of young composers with a foot in each world. This summer, her musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" will be part of the free Shakespeare in the Park series in New York. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "PLAY ON") SHAINA TAUB: (Singing) If music be the food of love, play on, play on. If music be the food of love, play on. SHAPIRO: And at the same time, Shaina Taub has just released a new album of her own original songs, most of them not tied to any musical. The album is called "Die Happy." (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "DIE HAPPY") TAUB: (Singing) If I die before you, you can have my records. You can give my books away. SHAPIRO: Shaina Taub, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. TAUB: Thanks, Ari. Thanks for having me. SHAPIRO: So on this album "Die Happy," a lot of the music is overtly political.
