Reviews
- “There has been a tradition through the years of writing musicals about putting on musicals. Think of Summer Stock or Kiss Me, Kate or White Christmas. Perhaps the most well-known of this genre as well as arguably the best is A Chorus Line. The story of how the show came about as well as the history of it through its Broadway run and beyond is a fascinating one. With chapters like ”They're All Special“: The Ladies Who Played Cassie and Bob Goulet Out and Steve McQueen In! A Chorus Line Cultural History, fans of Broadway in general and this show in particular will find an absolute treasure trove of information about this popular show. Author Tom Rowan certainly has the right credentials to write this book. He has been a playwright, director, literary manager, casting director, and producer. Two things are clear: Rowan has done his homework and this compendium is something of a work of love. There is an extensive bibliography including websites and articles, cast lists for the original Broadway show and five other productions, a excellent timeline, and a great many photographs throughout the book to enhance the wonderfully-written and very complete history.” – manhattanbookreview.com
