Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What Broadway show, in the 2000-2001 season closed after only thirteen performances? How many shows, put together at huge expense lasted only 60-70-80 days? Indeed how many of the 29 Broadway shows that opened that season can you even name, yes, twenty nine? What was going on Off-Broadway, or Off-Off-Broadway, or the professional regional companies? Who got awards, who debuted, who died?
This book is almost an encyclopedia of what happened anywhere in the season. Mr. Willis is editor, Ben Hodges is associate editor of Theater World. They have collected this unbelievable amount of information and published it as a reference book that tells the whole story of Broadway for this year. It is easily the most complete reference book available, and a fitting tribute to the Broadway season.
