Book Reviews of Making It Big: The Diary of a Broadway Musical
Book Review: brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Barbara Isenberg's living diary of "Big" reads like a fast paced novel of suspense. With everything in it's favor, it seems that "Big" will be a big hit, but the personal reflections of cast and crew reveal a deep undercurrent of doubt, fear and troubled feelings. After reading the book and sharing the journey, you feel the pain, the hope, the excitement and the ultimate disappointment. This wonderful work studies and embraces the birth pangs of creating a new work in musical theatre and the grieving period that comes with its closing. This is must reading for any theatre buff. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down. I read it in one sitting.
