Publisher Description

Stephen Sheerin was born to play on Broadway - or at least, under it. He's a musician, a conductor, and his dream is to music-direct a big Broadway musical. After years of toiling in the pit of some of the best-loved (and loathed) hits on the Great White Way, he's just been given his big break. Can life really be going that well?

Of course not - his family is driving him crazy, and his boyfriend can't seem to get rid of his other boyfriend. Add to that an alcoholic diva, the cheapest producing team on Broadway, and a comatose casting director, and you have some of the other characters buzzing around Stephen's Broadway break. Then there's Stephen himself - neurotic and bitchy - who realizes that maybe total happiness is overrated.

Narrated by Seth Rudetsky, from Sirus radio and Broadway's The Ritz; Kristin Chenoweth, Tony Award winner, star of Wicked and TV's Pushing Daisies; James Wesley from the Rosie O'Donnell cruise ship; Jonathan Groff, Tony Nominee from Broadway's Spring Awakening; Andrea Martin, Tony Award winner, from SCTV, and currently in Young Frankenstein; Jeff Bowen, Hunter Bell, and Susan Blackwell from [title of show]; Andrea Burns, from Broadway's Tony nominated In the Heights; Andy Karl, from Broadway's Legally Blonde and the upcoming 9 to 5; Anika Larsen, from off Broadway's Zanna, Don't and Broadway's Xanadu; Mary Birdsong (from TV's RENO 911); Billy Porter, from Broadway's Grease and winner of Star Search!; Richard Kind, from TV's Spin City and Broadway's The Producers. Jim Price, from Les Miserables and Off-Broadway's Bat Boy; Ann Harada from Avenue Q and the upcoming 9 to 5; Emily Skinner Tony nominee from Broadway's Side Show; Juli Wesley - Becky's First Grade Class at PS 98; and Sally Rudetsky (Seth's Mom).

"I loved this book! HOWEVER - it isn't for everyone. If you're put off by language and gay lifestyle, this isn't the read for you. Having said that, it made me laugh out loud! And the ending completely took me by surprise (2 out of 3). After meeting Seth this January, I'm a fan! "

    " If you are a Broadway Baby and/or a Seth Rudetsky fan, you will get a kick out of this book. Especially the audio version read by Seth himself. His distinctive whiney voice is one you will either love or hate. But I was laughing out loud for much of the time. "

    " Very very funny. :) Though you may have to go to the gay section of your bookstore to find it - apparently having gay characters makes a book *about* being gay, these days. "

    " This was a surprisingly fun book to listen to. It was a rocky start since the author/reader is a bit flamboyant. That didn't bother me as much as his whining. But then he grew on me and I was absolutely hooked. It was also a fun backstage glance at the world of Broadway. "

    " Seth was F-U-N-N-Y. Amazing how he could just channel his humor into his writing that seemed to flow effortlessly. I was laughing myself silly a few times. After this book, I am finding myself to be 'totally in love' with his work. Please, Seth. Please write more! "

    " A fun, backstage, fictional view backstage of the development of a Broadway musical, and the development of the show's musical director (with real-life backstage tales mixed in). The only thing that keeps it from being five stars is the frenetic pace of the book. "
