From the first run of \u003ci\u003eGuys and Dolls\u003c\/i\u003e in 1950 to the recent debut of \u003ci\u003eRent\u003c\/i\u003e, Stuart Ostrow, a prot D'eg D'e of the great composer-lyricist Frank Loesser, has been personally involved in many of the major Broadway productions of our time. The steadily growing number of fans of the Great White Way will delight in his reminiscences about the shows that have shaped musical theater, such as \u003ci\u003eHello Dolly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFunny Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMan of LaMancha\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCabaret\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e1776\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eM.

But in addition to the tales or re-writes, stand-ins, near-disasters, and moments of theatrical magic, the author also provides a unique historical perspective on almost half a century of the musical.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTUART OSTROW is the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Distinguished Professor of Theatre at the University of Houston.
