His eyewitness account to some of the greatest shows and stars of the 1960s and 70s (with visits backstage to a number of them), is furthered by conversing over the past four years with 100 men and women who were part of this remarkable time. Threading his own stories with theirs, the book features memories and insights from the likes of Harold Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Bette Midler, Sheldon Harnick, James Earl Jones, Austin Pendleton, Ken Howard, Hal Linden, Stacy Keach, Jane Alexander and Mike Nichols among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a half-century of theatregoing behind him, and dozens of credits over a long career as an actor and writer, \u003cbr\u003e Ron Fassler invites us to revisit the plays that impacted him as a young teenager and future artist. Included are indepth studies of the lives and careers of some of Broadway's finest actors: Julie Harris, Joseph Maher, \u003cbr\u003e Maureen Stapleton and John McMartin--all brought to life in vivid detail and sharp observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e UP IN THE CHEAP SEATS: A HISTORICAL MEMOIR OF BROADWAY is a first-of-its-kind hybrid that mixes the\u003cbr\u003e personal and the professional; a delightful and intimate portrait of a time in the theatre that once was ... and will\u003cbr\u003e never be again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 26, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485639622909,"sku":"9780999315392","price":32.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/eGtpMVB2V3duNm5aYXhZMThEWWtQQT09.webp?v=1777697545","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/up-in-the-cheap-seats-a-historical-memoir-of-broadway-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
