Welcome to a new series Broadway Book Club, where I take advice as well as share on Broadway based books I have been reading in my free time. Today's book is " Broadway Musicals: The Biggest Hits and the Biggest Flops of the Season-1959 to 2009" by Peter Filichia. This is a wonderful book that can be found for a reasonable price or at your local library. This show is a guide to the biggest hits and misses spanning the years listed, you can read it in order or skip to the years your favorite shows premiered and find out how it was when they first began, some shows have stories that you would not expect, and some of the biggest and best composers may have written a flop or two. This book is very fun and very informative. I highly recommend if you want to discover shows, and just because a show flopped does not mean it is bad, just unsuccessful. You may find a show that has a good soundtrack as well as learn new facts. This is a great read. What Broadway books have you been skimming through? till next time hope you day is a showstopper
