Rövid leírás:

A highly idiosyncratic and personal view of the Broadway season by an accomplished writer and producer, Broadway Yearbook 1999-2000 presents a detailed and analytical discussion of each show that opened on Broadway between May 31, 1999, and May 28, 2000. Certain non-Broadway productions of importance, relevance, or general interest are also included. The shows are discussed in chronological order to preserve the action of the season since timing, i.e., the competition on the date of opening was a significant factor in the reception and fate of some of this season's offerings.
The book provides in one place a unique critical overview of the season along with comparative statistics that will enable the reader to both participate in the season and understand how it worked. Suskin's intimate knowledge of Broadway and these shows provides a fascinating insight into the place of theatre in America.

Broadway Yearbook 1999-2000 is a unique and detailed guide to the theatrical year presenting 46 different shows. The volume features a comprehensive discussion of every show that opened on Broadway during the 1999-2000 season as well as several non-Broadway productions of importance or general interest. Each entry is accompanied by credits and cast lists, scorecards summarizing overall critical reception for each show, and a recap of each show's financial performance.
A new kind of theatre annual, this distinctive volume discusses what the shows are actually like (instead of merely relying on plot synopses or photographs). It is an interpretive record, featuring not only dates and names but also the stories behind the statistics. Opening night title pages illustrate each show discussion. Appendices include a roundup of the season's major awards, memorable performances of the year, obituaries, long run leaders, shows still running from prior seasons, scheduled shows that never reached Broadway, and a comprehensive index.
Steven Suskin has provided a relevant and irreverent record of the year's memorable high points (and low points). Written from an insider's perspective, the book is knowledgeable, intriguing, provocative, and entertaining.

"For ages now I have been looking for the theater equivalent of longtime New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael....My search seems to over, as evidenced by Steven Suskin's remarkably detailed and addicting new book, Broadway Yearbook 1999-2000, an invaluable record of that most interesting theater season.... [Suskin writes] with unmatched aplomb and a distinctive voice not heard since the heyday of New York's best writers.... Each show is covered in much depth, with information about past productions if applicable, a copy of the inside of the Playbill for each production, whether the show fell into the red or black monetarily, and Suskins own comments about their success as Broadway offerings What sets Suskin apart from his contemporaries is his unflinching honesty."--Matinee Magazine
