This was so entertaining! It's not really "educational" per se, at least for me, but I got a good laugh out of reading actor's horror stories. It's even funnier when you look at the credits ad credentials of the actors and then see that even Tony winners have endured such crazy and ridiculous things in this industry. A great light read!

I enjoyed this book. I really did. The only issue is that they mainly showed the negatives of Broadway, and less than one chapter was about the positives of it. While I know that this is real life, it would've been nice if they asked the actors about any happy memories of Broadway. I was looking for inspiration, and I got that, but I was also left with a sour image of Broadway. It was still interesting to read about their experiences in the business. If you want a brutally honest review of Broadway life, this is it.
