Description
Razzle Dazzle: The Battle for Broadway is a gripping narrative that explores the rise and fall of New York's theatre scene in the 1970s and 1980s. Against the backdrop of Times Square's decline, two ambitious board members, Bernard Jacobs and Jerry Schoenfeld, staged a coup to turn a struggling company into one of the most successful entertainment empires in the world. Through the stories of the Shubert Organization and its iconic shows, including Cats, A Chorus Line, and Mamma Mia!, Michael Riedel reveals the backstage drama that often rivaled what transpired onstage. This is a story of power struggles, unlikely alliances, and inside gossip that exposes the inner workings of Broadway's golden era. With its rich and engaging narrative, Razzle Dazzle is a riveting account of the people and money that transformed New York's gritty back alleys into the glitzy Great White Way.
