(Applause Books). Theatregoers favorite history of Broadway is back in an updated and expanded 2010 edition including more than 500 color production photos; vintage archival photos; and Playbill covers from all forty currently operating Broadway theatres. Thirty-eight of the original chapters have been expanded to cover all the shows that have opened in the ten years since the popular 2000 edition; with two new chapters added to include Broadway theatres recently refurbished and returned to life. This unique chronicle is the first work to present a detailed theatre-by-theatre roundup of players and productions that have enchanted audiences at Broadways great playhouses from 1900 to 2010. The work is an expanded treatment of "At This Theatre;" the popular feature in Playbills Broadway theatre programs. "At This Theatre" offers playgoers instant nostalgia by listing notable hits (and some famed fiascos) that have played through the years in the theatre that they are attending. The book also pays tribute to the distinguished impresarios who built and managed these houses; and the brilliant architects and interior designers who created them. The original 1984 edition was created by Playbill senior editor Louis Botto. Botto worked with editor Robert Viagas on the 2000 update. With the third edition; Botto has passed the author torch to Viagas; who founded Playbill.com and the acclaimed Playbill Broadway Yearbook series; and who has written the updates in Bottos style.

One of the better books on the subject.18 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful and informativeBy Toni SellersThis book is awesome! The illustrations are beautiful and tutorials are very educational. Im not really a botanical artist; but I wanted to learn and thats why I purchased the book. I believe this to be one of the best artist reference books that Ive seen. The author does a great job of presenting color mixes; which was a great help even in other watercolor paintings.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good reference bookBy L.
