I read LET THE SUNSHINE IN: THE GENIUS OF HAIR and I thought it was amazing. So, now I want to read more books about bway shows. Are there any books that you guys and gals suggest?

Jeffry Denman follows his year with The Producers beginning with his audition. I had a hard time putting it down.

One of my favorite Broadway books has to be "A Chorus Line and The Musicals of Michael Bennett" by Ken Mandelbaum.
