Rodgers and Hammerstein's Me and Juliet - Paperback

by Richard Rodgers (Author), II Oscar Hammerstein (Author)

This show-within-a-show follows the romance between a chorus girl and an Assistant Stage Manager leading to their secret marriage. Their happy union is threatened by the electrician who still carries a torch for the girl and in a drunken rage tries to kill them both. A contrasting romance involves the Stage Manager whose credo never to fall for a girl in a show he's working on is complicated when a dancer he's been wooing is suddenly thrown into the cast of 'Me and Juliet.' Informed by rich insights into the world of Broadway - how jobs are gotten and lost the inside tricks of the trade and the pitfalls of backstage romances - Me and Juliet is an innovative irresistible show that consistently delivers both musically and dramatically.
