(Applause Books). In 1971; college student Ted Chapin found himself front row center as a production assistant at the creation of one of the greatest Broadway musicals; Follies . Needing college credit to graduate on time; he kept a journal of everything he saw and heard and thus was able to document in unprecedented detail how a musical is actually created. Now; more than thirty years later; he has fashioned an extraordinary chronicle. Follies was created by Stephen Sondheim; Hal Prince; Michael Bennett; and James Goldman giants in the evolution of the Broadway musical and geniuses at the top of their game. Everything Was Possible takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride; from the uncertainties of casting to drama-filled rehearsals; from the care and feeding of one-time movie and television stars to the pressures of a Boston tryout to the exhilaration of opening night on Broadway. Foreword by long-time NY critic Frank Rich.
