I just finished the cutest young adult book about two kids from a small town in Ohio who go to a performing arts camp for the summer. It read like a more modern and entertaining version of Camp. Tons of Broadway mentions and theatre related lingo/experiences. Any book that describes a character as "Kristinish" (as in Chenoweth) entertains me! It's entitled Dramarama, and I think that it would entertain theatre lovers of all ages.

Are there any other fiction books out there about theatre or Broadway?

One that springs to mind is Writer's Block by Bruce Kimmel. Not the best book, but an easy read, and fairly entertaining....

Before someone comes in and tries to tell you otherwise, do not read that "How I Got Into College" or whatever it was called. It's awful.
