Steve Allen praised it as a \u0026#8220;dazzling commentary on popular music culture\u0026#8221;; Don Black, veteran lyricist of the James Bond movies and \u0026#8220;Born Free\u0026#8221;, hailed it as \u0026#8220;Mark Steyn\u0026#8217;s masterful book\u0026#8221;; and The Times of London called it \u0026#8220;hugely entertaining\u0026#8221;. You can read more from the critics in Britain, America, Canada and elsewhere here, but, if you\u0026#8217;ve followed Mark\u0026#8217;s theatre pieces in The New Criterion, the Telegraph and elsewhere, you\u0026#8217;ll know what to expect. Packed with jokes, facts, anecdotes and interviews, Broadway Babies Say Goodnight covers it all \u0026#8211; the shows and the stars, the music and lyrics, the impresarios and the showgirls, the hits and the flops, the Jews and the gays, with ruminations on everything from Communist operetta to 19th century rock\u0026#8217;n\u0026#8217;roll. We’re offering the 2000 London paperback edition, with the cool, oblique, not-entirely-clear-what’s-going-on British cover, not the cheesy dinner-theatre-flyer American one. There’s no Broadway book like this one!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steyn","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":8770,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0000\/4098\/products\/prodimg_broadwaybabiesukcvr_100.jpg?v=1155241139","url":"https:\/\/steynonline.myshopify.com\/products\/broadway-babies-say-goodnight","provider":"SteynOnline Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
