THEATER KID A Broadway Memoir

Jeffrey Seller, producer of some of the most original, innovative, and memorable Broadway musicals, narrates this no-nonsense, completely engaging memoir. Other voices portraying his parents, friends, and famous collaborators add sincerity and depth to his story. Growing up in a Detroit suburb, Seller always felt like an outsider, partly because he was adopted and partly because he was Jewish and poor. He explains in his natural, charming way why he loved and finally felt at home in the theater. Seller is frank, graphic, and unapologetic about his homosexuality and his relationships with men during the AIDS crisis. Having worked his way up from theatrical booking to producing, he tells the backstories behind such successful musicals as RENT, IN THE HEIGHTS, and HAMILTON. It's captivating, fascinating listening.
