Called the "theater equivalent of longtime New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael" by
Matinee Magazine,
critic and producer Steven Suskin chronicles the 2001-2002 theater season in his latest installment in the
Broadway Yearbook
series. Commenting with wit and erudition on each show that opened on Broadway between May 2001 and May 2002, Suskin's vivid descriptions recall Tony winners like
Thoroughly Modern Millie
and
Urinetown
and commercial smashes like
Mamma Mia!
The Graduate.
A great read for theater buffs, the book is also a valuable sourcebook for critics, Broadway historians, and theater professionals, providing an array of statistics on every Broadway production of the season, as well as noteworthy off-Broadway performances. The intelligent and witty
Broadway Yearbook, 2001-2002
will engage theater lovers, performers, and critics alike.
