A “quick, insightful, and delightfully detailed look” (Kirkus Reviews) of a transformative decade on Broadway, including behind-the-scenes narratives of shows like Rent, Angels in America, Chicago, The Lion King and The Producers — shows that changed the history of American theater.

The 1990s were a decade of profound change on Broadway. At the dawn of the ’90s, the British invasion of Broadway was in full swing, as musicals like Les Misérables, Cats and Theater Ghosts dominated the box office. But Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard soon marked the end of this era and ushered in a new wave of American musicals, beginning with the rise of a utopian performance by a struggling writer, difficult, who reimagined Puccini’s opera La Bohème into a grand performance on the Rent stage. American musical comedy has made a monumental comeback, culminating in The Producers, while the plays, always an endangered species on Broadway, staged a strong comeback with Angels. by Tony Kushner in America. A different type of producer emerged to challenge theater owners’ long-held hold on Broadway, and corporations began to see how much money could be made from live theater.

But Broadway was back up and running just two days later, fueled by talented theaters intent on bringing New Yorkers together and supporting the economy of a hurting city.

“Told with all the wit and style a reader could wish for” (Booklist) Michael Riedel presents the tragedy behind every smash hit or flop. From bitter feuds to surprising collaborations, all the intrigue of a revolutionary era in the Theater District is encapsulated in Singular Sensation. Broadway has success and disaster, but the show always goes on.

I gave this book to my partner, a wise and wise man on Broadway. He loves it… he loves all the books by this author. So no higher praise is available or needed. Get it if you love the Great White Way.

Michael Riedel has long instilled fear into the hearts of Broadway producers and performers with secrets or bad behavior they don’t want exposed, and he brought the spirit to him. Mischievously into his book as he did with his newspaper column. There’s also a lot of love for the magic of the stage, especially when it’s transcendent, as usual. Highly recommended for any fan of show or theatrical business.
