A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Show & Tell is a book likely to find its way into both public and academic libraries, and readers are likely to come away from it much more informed than before... The amount of inside information this book contains is rather undersold by the title, which implies a random assortment of witty asides and gossipy small-talk from and about Broadway life... Although there are plenty of memorable encounters, sarcastic put-downs, near-the-knuckle jokes and theatrical memorabilia (quite enough to help any after-dinner speaker with some material), there is also a generous store of knowledge about Broadway shows and theatre. (Stuart Hannabuss (Independent Reviewer and Researcher, Aberdeen, UK); Reference Reviews Volume 31, Number 6, 2017)

Ken Bloom, an aficionado of all things Broadway, has put together a book of choice remarks or insights into the world of theatrical entertainment and it is a hoot. (Nick Wakeham, Musical Theatre Review)

there are some corkers ... (Brian Viner, Daily Mail)

Ken Bloom, an aficionado of all things Broadway, has put together a book of choice remarks or insights into the world of theatrical entertainment and it is a hoot. ... a delicious compendium of theatrical gold. ... Love it! (Nick Wakeham, Musical Theatre Review)
