Bloom, Ken - Show and Tell

Show and Tell is a compendium of the greatest Broadway anecdotes be they gut-bustingly hilarious or bittersweet. They're all here from the mightiest to the lowliest in all their razy idiosyncrasies which makes live theatre into the liveliest of all performing arts. It's all here, two centuries of the fabulous invalid, the American theatre.
