Second Act Trouble

Steven Suskin has compiled and annotated long-forgotten, first-person accounts of 25 Broadway musicals from the 1930s to the 1990s that stubbornly went awry. The infamous shows featured include Mack and Mabel, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Act, and How Now, Dow Jones. And this being Broadway, there are stars: Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, Richard Chamberlain, Jerry Lewis, Mary Tyler Moore, and many more.
