I am only part way through the first interview (Rob Ashford) and I can't believe the amount that I am learning about the business that I have been a part of for the last 15 years! I can only imagine that the rest of the book is just as wonderful, educational and fun as the first 30 pages have been. Lyn Cramer is a genius teacher and mentor and now a genius writer. Buy it now! Kids, teachers, performers, parents........EVERYONE must read this book!!!
This is a peek behind the curtain at the people responsible for some of the greatest Broadway musicals of the past several decades. As only another dancer could, Lyn takes you inside the process of choreographer/directors of musicals in a very personal way where you hear each interviewee's voice and approach to their art and the business. It is fascinating to learn what they have in common and equally fascinating to see the differences. A great read!
This book is a fantastic resource for learning the creative processes behind today's leading director/choreographers of musical theatre. Whether you are a seasoned professional, aspiring director/choreographer, current student, or just a lover of Broadway musicals, this collection of in depth interviews is an essential addition to your performing arts library!
As a performer, this book was really exciting to look in to the mind of the director and choreographer! An easy read, this book answers all those questions you wanted to ask but never had the opportunity.I loved it!
