stellar compilation of the entire broadway season's playbills; a must have for any theater fan

The Playbill Broadway Yearbook June 2005- May 2006

I live in South Africa and am a regular visitor to New York but was unable to get there this year. This book gives me full information on all aspects of shows on Broadway. I find it exceptionally interesting particularly on those shows that opened within that period.

Great details of your B'way viewing

This book was just what I expected, and it was wonderful! I shall definitely go back and buy the previous years' books. However, it is targeted at a specific reader/theatregoer. Lots and lots of pictures and behind the scenes lists, not only cast, but crew, producers, etc. Also lists awards and nominations. A great find for avid theatre buffs, but probably boring for the general public.

Wonderful documentation!

I purchased the first year yearbook as well as this second one. It is a good source of documentation of the theater season- complete with the cast listing, crew,stage door stories (which I particularly enjoy), photos and events that transpired on that particular theater season.

Perfect Gift

This was an ideal gift for my granddaughter who is majoring in theater in college. I also bought her the previous year's book. She had seen many of the plays and thoroughly enjoyed reading about those along with those she hadn't seen.
