""One of my earliest memories is when my parents decided my brother and I were old enough to be taken to Dad’s 'office' on Broadway and see him perform in The Pajama Game. Mom had a tight grip on our hands as we crossed Times Square to reach his theatre. I was awestruck by the colors of those huge posters that were everywhere, larger than life, fighting for my attention. Mom pointed out a red one and told us it was Dad’s show. Then we turned the corner and I saw the same picture, surrounded by bright lights high above the crowded entrance. This incredible collection of the best Broadway art brings back all the excitement of going to that Saturday matinee!"" -- Bonnie Raitt, iconic American musician and daughter of Broadway star John Raitt ""My family has been in the theatre business for over a century. Each poster in this amazing collection brings life to Broadway’s brilliant history, full of crazy characters and show business legends. It’s a real treat to find surprises on every page—I can’t put it down!"" -- James L. Nederlander, Broadway theatre owner and producer ""This definitive new book brings the magic of mid-century Broadway stunningly back to life through hundreds of gorgeous, seductive, eye-catching posters and the delicious descriptions and stories behind them. I fell in love with the theater all over again as I turned each page!"" -- John Rubinstein, Tony Award–winning actor
