What a shambles of a book. The idea of a Broadway season analysed in close detail is an intriguing one, but the writing is unbearable, the structure chaotic. Even reading the synopses of musicals that I'm very familiar with (such as Sondheim's Anyone Can Whistle), I came away more confused than when I began!

Perhaps it's because I like to offer "redemptive readings" that I struggle with carefree bitchiness, and that differentiates me from the author. Perhaps it's just that providing a work's plot synopsis in the past tense is a bewildering choice. Filichia is both too clever for himself (throwing in casual references to obscure lyrics from other obscure shows) and far too dull for the reader. This is for die-hards only; a feast of in-jokes and smugness, but little else.

Deserves to be as forgotten as the 1963-64 Broadway season. Nay - more so!
