by Mary Rodgers & Jesse Green
As the daughter of composer Richard Rodgers, Mary Rodgers was raised amid stifling privilege. She rebelled at a young age and never stopped. This is a witty, candid, and hilarious peek into the backstage machinations of Broadway musicals, publishing, television, and classical music. No one is spared, not even the author herself. Included are wry clarifying footnotes by theater critic Jesse Green, who helped Rodgers shape her fascinating memoir.
