Reviews

  • "Long-overdue and richly detailed." - Chicago Sun-Times

  • "Broadway, the Golden Years, is really seven books in one. It traces a unique and fascinating facet of Broadway history through mini-biographies of its six foremost practitioners, plus a roundup of who's working today." - Playbill On-Line

  • "Taking a fresh approach to that quintessential American form -- musical theater --, Long in his eloquent book examines the phenomenon of the choreographer, a figure usually low in the credits of propagation for a show." --Confrontation, Fall 2002/Winter

  • 'This long overdue, richly detailed book is a major addition to the history of Broadway.' ~ Driffield Leader, Dec 2006

  • "Good one-stop shopping for material on principal choreographers." - Choice

  • "Earnest and thorough." - New York Times
