Seth's Broadway Diary, Volume 1 - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Seth Rudetsky (Author)

"If you don't happen to have a nice gay Jewish nephew who is a musical genius and hilariously funny with ties to musical comedy stars and an obsessive need to pick apart every single note of their careers, and who also comes home and tells you all about it while dishing them and ordering Chinese take-out not to mention counting calories all at the same time, then Seth Rudetsky is your man. Please buy this amaaaaahzing book so he'll stop e-mailing me."" -Nathan Lane
