Steven Suskin has led a well-rounded life in the Broadway theatre on both sides of the footlights. His fifteen books include The Sound of Broadway Music, Second Act Trouble, Opening Night on Broadway, and coffee-table books for The Book of Mormon and The Great Comet. He produced Forever Plaid and William Finn's Falsettoland. He has written more than one thousand columns, reviews, and liner notes for Playbill, Variety, and The Huffington Post and currently as critic and founding editor of New York Stage Review. But before becoming a writer, Suskin spent many years learning, watching, and collecting intriguing offstage observations.
