Summary: Just started reading this tonight...
Review: and I've already caught two major errors. I first read the appenix titled "Broadway on Film." 1) The 1953 film (and stage musical) starring Ethel Merman is Call Me Madam-NOT Call Me Madame. 2) Riddle states that State Fair was "never a stage production." Again,this is not true. A stage production of the movie musical played the Music Box Theater (a Broadway house) from March 27 (previews began March 20)-June 30, 1996. The copyright for this book is 2004,so there's no excuse for this error. Andrea McArdle and Donna McKechnie were both in the show,so it's not as if it didn't receive any attention. What a disappointment.
