Customer comments on this selection.
 Not Recommended
The concept sounded great....funny stoties about productions, like film outtakes. We get the stories, but not the funny. The author blandly recites the details, with no real humor - I could count on one hand the ones that made me chuckle. Very disappointing...
 A fun read!
This book is a must for anyone who loves the theater, and is a fun read for anybody. Most of the anecdotes are quite amusing. The 'mishaps' are each told in a brief, 2-page-or-less missive, so it is perfect for when you want a book handy to pick up whenever you need a quick laugh.
 Littered with inaccuracies
A disappointing number of errors appear thoughout this book. Two that immediately come to mind are: 1) Book states that Sarah Jessica Parker was in the revival of the musical ANNIE. Not so. Parker was in the original production, 2) The showstopping song from CATS is listed as "Memories". The title is "Memory".
I also found it to be rather expensive as it's a paperback.
 Absolutely Hillarious
Funny and at times cringe-worthy through tears of laughter. A must for theatre geeks everywhere!
Stop the show for a good laugh!
A funny and fascinating look at just how wrong things can go onstage. A must-read for anybody with an interest in theater or acting -- or just having some yuks at the expense of master and not-so-masterful thespians. Should be handed out as required reading for those who dare to tread the boards wearing less than full body armor.
