Following some surgery later this month, I'll be laid up for a few weeks and am lining up all the books I want to catch up on. I'd like to read about "the business of show," and behind-the-scenes creation of productions. I'm not interested in celebrity, biography, and gossip-style books, but rather factual real-life books about the industry. I found a few on Amazon, and wondering if there are others that you found particularly interesting and informative. Thanks!
Four that sound interesting . . .
The Business of Broadway
The Commercial Theater Institute Guide to Producing Plays and Musicals
The Secret Life of the American Musical: How Broadway Shows are Built
Broadway General Manager: Demystifying the Most Important and Least Understood Role in Show Business
