From Fanny Brice, Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern to Barbra Streisand, Alan Menken and Stephen Sondheim, Jewish performers, composers, lyricists, directors, choreographers and producers have made an indelible mark on Broadway for more than a century. This historical new edition captures the story of the Jewish emergence from immigrants in ghettos staging Yiddish productions on New York's lower east side to the stages of Broadway. There is over thirty percent more information, photographs plus insight and anecdotes from a life spent working with many of the Jewish legends of American theater.
