In this uplifting memoir, Lee Wilson shares stories from her four decades of dancing on Broadway, including anecdotes about theatre legends including Agnes de Mille, Richard Rodgers, Michael Bennett, Donna McKechnie, and Bernadette Peters. She details the economic, political, and social events that led from the Golden Age to the slump of the early 1970s to the rejuvenation of Broadway with the huge success of A Chorus Line. Wilson's feminist viewpoint gives readers new insight into well-known musicals and examines why Golden Age musicals are still relevant to the predominately female audience that purchases tickets to Broadway shows.

This book is for musical theatre students in high schools and colleges, performers in community and regional theatre, professionals on and off-Broadway, dance moms, lovers of musical theatre, and readers who want to peek into the rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms and hearts of Broadway dancers.

Industry Reviews

"Lee Wilson should lecture on her sensational book I Danced on Broadway at every musical theatre department of every university. I was riveted by her adventures and her fierce devotion and love for the discipline of dance from the corps de ballet to the Broadway stage. I felt her insightful intelligence and hard-won wisdom navigating through the muck of sexism and ageism in the performing arts and unapologetically separating out the sweethearts from the scoundrels along the way. Her steady voice reflects the deep joy and gratitude she has for a life so very well lived."-Melissa Manchester, Grammy Award-winning, Oscar-nominated singer/songwriter
