Join us at The Drama Book Shop for a fascinating look at the careers of some of Broadway's greatest female performers in their own wordsIn Here's to the Ladies, the follow-up to Nothing Like a Dame: Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater, theatre journalist Eddie Shapiro sits down for intimate, career-encompassing conversations with yet more of Broadway's most prolific and fascinating leading women.Full of detailed stories and reflections, his conversations with such luminaries as Barbara Cook, Kelli O'Hara, Heather Headley, Faith Prince, Stephanie J. Block, Tonya Pinkins, and a host of others dig deep into each actor's career -together, these chapters tell the story of what it means to be a leading lady on Broadway over the past fifty years.Alan Cumming described Nothing Like a Dame as “an encyclopedia of modern musical theatre via a series of tender meetings between a diehard fan and his idols. Because of Eddie Shapiro's utter guilelessness, these women open up and reveal more than they ever have before, and we get to be the third guest at each encounter.” This new volume brings more fly-on-the-wall opportunities for fans to savour, students to study, and even the unindoctrinated to understand the life of the performing artist.Eddie Shapiro grew up singing music from every cast album he could get his hands on. He is the author of Nothing Like a Dame: Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater, A Wonderful Guy: Conversations with the Great Men of Musical Theater, Queens in the Kingdom: The Ultimate Gay and Lesbian Guide to the Disney Theme Parks, and hundreds of articles in magazines with much shorter and more sensible titles than his books. He lives in New York City and Los Angeles.We kindly ask that you review the following information before reserving your spot:This Eventbrite ticket is your reservation for the event.Please note that the purchase of “Here's to the Ladies”($39.95) is required for entry.Upon arrival, our team will direct you to the register to obtain your copy of “Here's to the Ladies“ and complete your admission.The store will begin welcoming guests at 7:15 pm.Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at rsvp@dramabookshop.com.
