I didn't realize it is coming out this Tuesday. I know some of you have a lot to say about him, but I do want to read this.

FROM THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
He summons up the challenges and surprises that came with the making of La Cage aux Folles, the first big Broadway musical that was gay and glad to be.
As long as the gay couple doesn't kiss. And as long as you don't get the impression that the members of the acting company are "fruits". Or the director. Other than that, yeah.
And he talks, as well, about the works of other directors—Fiddler on the Roof; Kiss Me, Kate; Spring Awakening; Street Scene; The Phantom of the Opera; LoveMusik; Sweeney Todd.
Oh boy, this is going to be FUN... (mrrooowww!! hiss!!)
Wow, I'm enjoying myself already! You're right, ljay!
But yeah, I'm looking forward to this, too.
