About A Day At The New Amsterdam Theatre
Product Description A photographic treasure of a day in the life of Broadway's most storied theatre Life in a Broadway theatre is a seven-day-a-week, 24-hour-a-day operation. In fact, there is always something going on at the famed New Amsterdam Theatre, home to the record-breaking Disney's The Lion King. Gino Domenico, an Associated Press photographer, has captured the wonderful essence and activity of this historic theatre. Never-before-photographed areas of the theatre are featured, and readers will see all the nooks and crannies where the theatre's supposed ghosts are said to reside. With a brief introduction and informative captions to accompany the beautiful photography, this book will be a great treasure for theatre fans and Disneyphiles alike. From School Library Journal Starred Review. Grade 4 Up - True to its description as the "ultimate backstage pass," this title covers a day in the life of Disney's The Lion King, the long-running Broadway musical. The volume is as much a tribute to the renovated New Amsterdam Theatre, the one-time home of The Ziegfield Follies, as it is a celebration of stagehands, technicians, and performers working six days a week to put on eight shows. A clock in a corner of each spread guides readers through the day as box-office personnel, make-up designers, dancers, actors, cleaning staff, and others do their jobs. Each spread includes several full-color photos that are often gritty, sometimes glamorous; brief captions describe activities and identify individuals. This unique volume provides an honest, realistic, eye-opening look at the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the running of a Broadway show. It also offers a glimpse into the bonds that exist between the onstage and offstage people who create this high-quality production. A show-stopper. - Tracy Karbel, Glenside Public Library District, Glendale Heights, IL Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
