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, the third edition is packed with photos and memorabilia from the 2006-2007 Broadway season. The new edition includes chapters on all 67 Broadway shows that ran during the season - new shows like Curtains and Spring Awakening as well as long-running ones like Wicked. In addition to headshots of all the actors who appeared in Playbill, the book has photos of producers, writers, designers, stage managers, stagehands, musicians - even ushers. The Playbill Broadway Yearbook also has 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.

Playbill Yearbook,

This review is from: The Playbill Broadway Yearbook: June 2006-May 2007: Third Annual Edition (Playbill Broadway Yearbook) (Hardcover)
A friend asked me to order the book for him. He collects that series of books. He was in New York City, the beginning of November 2007, and was unable to find the book in the stores he went to check. He told me he was very happy with the book, and also the cost. $23.00 versus $35.00 in the bookstores. He highly recommends the yearbook.
