How to Succeed in Show BizBy enubriusReading Cy Feuers memoir is like sitting at the feet of a beloved uncle as he recounts fabulous tales of a fabulous time on Broadway; the time when the Broadway Musical was a capital-letters phrase. And; make no mistake; Cy Feuer and partner Ernest Martin were THE musical producers of that era! Guys Dolls; How to Succeed...; Can-Can; The Boyfriend! To anyone "of a certain age"; these were the musicals of their lives. Sure; there are some factual errors (he confuses Victor Young with Vincent Youmans; for example); but I blame that on co-author Ken Gross. I dont know that its his fault; mind; I just want to blame him and just revel in Cy Feuer! If you love musicals; Broadway; Hollywood; gossip; and/or great story-telling; you will; too!5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Standing on the Corner; Trading StoriesBy disheveledprofessorThe first show I saw in NYC; as an impressionable young teenager; was Feuer Martins production of "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying". Those rosy memories; combined with the positive reviews of the book; made reading it irresistable.It is a light; enjoyable read. The reviewer who wrote "is like sitting at the feet of a beloved uncle as he recounts fabulous tales" was absolutely right -- thats just how I felt. [And it must have been the style Feuer was trying for; with his repeated use of "kinda" "sorta" "hadda"]. But while that is fun; it was also frustrating: the stories were told because they were humorous; not because they provided any insight. Dont we read biographies to learn more about what makes a specific individual "tick"; and by transferance; more about what makes all of us "tick"? There was no learning here; little insight. Just stories.Feuer insisted frequently that he was not an artist; merely a ditchdigger; albeit a good one. But he didnt do enough digging here. Read it for fun; but dont expect to know the man.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great theater historyBy Mike D.Fascinating glimpse into the creation of some classic Broadway musicals.
