New books
  • Fixing the Musical: How Technologies Shaped the Broadway Repertory 
Doug Reside, curator of the Billy Rose Theatre Division at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts makes the case for the fact that the musicals we most remember are those which most effectively used their era's best recording and distribution technologies to document and share the work with those who would never see the original production on Broadway. The book will be available from August 25, 2023. Available for pre-order via Amazon and Bookshop.org.
  • THE TONY AWARDS: A CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE IN THEATRE
A new coffee table book by Eila Mell and the American Theatre Wing featuring over 130 interviews, and 400 photographs celebrating the history of over 75 years of Broadway greatness. The book also features a forward by six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald. Currently available for pre-order, the book will be released in April, 2024. Pre-order via Amazon or Bookshop.org.
