At
This Theatre by Louis Botto, Robert Viagas
Book Description: This is the ultimate backstage tour of Broadway!
AT THIS THEATRE tells the complete history of Broadway in the 20th century,
theatre by theatre. This gorgeous book is now updated, revised and with
a larger format, covering 1900 to 2001. PLAYBILL's columnist, Louis Botto,
along with Robert Viagas, opens the doors and lets readers explore the
40 active Broadway theatres in New York. From the conception and design
of the buildings, to their original creators, and on to the theatres' transformation,
often under duress, from legitimate houses to vaudeville and Burlesque,
to movie houses and then back to their original purpose, this book captures
the magical world of Broadway. It is a complete and authoritative history
that only Botto, the curator of PLAYBILL's incomparable 116-year-old archives,
can tell. Expanded from his popular column in PLAYBILL magazine, AT THIS
THEATRE is the biography of those living, breathing buildings we call theatres.
In this substantially updated version, Botto includes the histories of
all the theatres rescued from the wrecker in the last ten years, including
the American Airlines Theatre, Disney's New Amsterdam, and the Lyric and
the Apollo, now combined into the Ford Center. AT THIS THEATRE is filled
with great stories featuring a cast of characters including Ethel Merman,
David Merrick, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and Spencer Tracy. And
it's also a theatrical spectacle boasting lavish illustrations of posters,
programs, and photographs throughout. This is the gift book for every theatre
lover on your list, including yourself!
