Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir
by Jeffrey Seller
informative
medium-paced
Interesting to hear a memoir with a full ensemble to read for all the other people in your life.
As a theater person, the long deep-dive into Seller's involvement and development of Rent and then into Avenue Q and Hamilton (with a minor stop for In the Heights) were the most engaging for me.
While everyone who writes a memoir is entitled to tell their story the way they wish, Sellers might be a better story shaper and teller than author. Some descriptions of people and situations felt more effortful than they needed to be and his discovery ofmasturbation is oddly clinical and lacking the maybe joy? excitement? I would expect from such a moment in one's life. Never have I before, and never will I again, hear the word "pelvis" used so many times in so short a span.
