Many people who work on Broadway keep scrapbooks of their experiences, with photos, signed posters, ticket stubs, and of course Playbills. Playbill Books has expanded this idea into an annual project that is becoming a Broadway institution: The Playbill Broadway Yearbook.
Taking the form of a school yearbook, each book is packed with photos and memorabilia from it's particular Broadway season. Every Yearbook includes chapters on all Broadway shows that ran during that season - new shows as well as long-running ones. In addition to headshots of all the actors who appeared in Playbill, the books have photos of producers, writers, designers, stage managers, stagehands, musicians - even ushers.
The Playbill Broadway Yearbooks also have a correspondent on each production to report on inside information: opening-night gifts, who got the Gypsy Robe, daily rituals, celebrity visits, memorable ad-libs, and more. Correspondents range from dressers and stage doormen to stage managers, dancers, featured players, and even stars of the shows. These are books no Broadway buff will want to be without!
"It is such a magnificent idea, and such a valuable one for theater buffs, it is a wonder it has taken this long to happen... It's a real keeper." - Robert Osborne, The Hollywood Reporter
"It would be difficult to imagine a more thorough inventory of all those involved in a single Broadway season. Most striking is the feeling of community that comes through in the photos, and in much of the writing as well." - Stage Directions
