About This Book
How is a suitable replacement chosen to take over on Broadway? What goes into an actor making a role their own in the shadow of another's highly lauded performance? What happens when someone hops on the moving train that is a multi-million dollar production and replaces a flailing actor during an out of town tryout? Filtered through the lens of 50 years of theatregoing, Ron Fassler, author of Up in the Cheap Seats: A Historical Memoir of Broadway is back with The Show Goes On: Broadway Hirings, Firings and Replacements featuring stories of absurdity, backstabbing, catastrophe, decency, endurance—and that's just A-E.
