Leading lady and one-time telly star Eleanor Woodwarde's life is collapsing around her exquisitely turned ankles. As an alternative to suicide, she takes the lead in an overblown West End salsa musical. The producer's volatile incompetence is matched only by the length of his cigar. A rival actress is after the number one dressing room. And the director can't keep his hands to himself. Eleanor fears for her sanity, but at fifty quid a skull the show must go on... "If you want to know showbiz, read this and weep with laughter" - Joanna Lumley

"As any resident, restaurateur, or realtor will tell you, New York's Upper West Side--that swath of Manhattan between Central Park and the Hudson River, from roughly Columbus Circle to Columbia University--is the place for fashionable dining, dwelling, and dressing up. But the Young Urban Professionals now discovering the area (and many oldtimers, too) might be surprised to learn that other colonists had preceded them by two or three hundred years--Dutch farmers and English gentry with names like Theunis Idens van Huys, Hendrick Hendrickon Bosch, Charles Ward Apthorpe, and Oliver De Lancey. The names of many later residents are more familiar: Edgar Allan Poe, William Tecumseh Sherman, Lillian Russell, Diamond Jim Brady, Florenz Ziegfeld, Arturo Toscanini, Fanny Brice, William Randolph Hearst, Theodore Dreiser, Lewis Mumford, Humphrey Bogart (he was a child there), Lauren Bacall (so was she), Gertrude Stein, Mae West, Leonard Bernstein, John Lennon. Quite a neighborhood. And Peter Salwen’s Upper West Side Story is quite a book: an engaging, often hilarious history of this fabulous city-within-a-city. It is a treasury of colorful biographies--of farmers, tycoons, thieves, and artists. It is an architectural grand tour--of the Dakota, the Ansonia, Lincoln Center, and the romantic residential skyscrapers of Central Park West. It is a compendium of Manhattan lore and delightful as well as occasionally horrifying trivia, enough to turn even a casual browser into the Compleat Upper West Sider. The story of this dynamic neighborhood begins with the colonial period, when merchant princes commanded royal views of the Hudson--until the approach of Washington’s troops drove them from their mansions--and continues through the bucolic nineteenth century, when the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum at 116th and Broadway (site of today's Columbia University) was the Upper West Side's prime tourist attraction. By the turn of the [twentieth] century, the fashionable “West End," as the neighborhood was then known, boasted extravagant mansions and private homes, grand parks and equestrian boulevards, and its own unique theatrical and night life. Author Peter Salwen chronicles those high-living years, and the half century of inexorable decline that followed--with its poverty and often sensational crime--and brings us up-to-date with a lively account of [the 1980s'] galloping renaissance. [This book] is living history--an unfinished story--generously illustrated with vintage engravings and photos of the buildings and people great and humble (those still with us and those that are no more). Also included are special walking tours to suit all levels of ambition and energy, and a who’s who of famous and infamous residents and where they lived."--Dust jacket.

Stephen Sondheim said it had "a classic rousing Broadway score." London's Daily Telegraph critic called it "the show we've been waiting for." "Maddie" opened in London's West End in 1997 after a seven year roller-coaster creative process. Everyone anticipated a hit. A "making of" book was commissioned to coincide with the show's opening.But showbiz is famously fickle and "Maddie" closed after only six weeks. The dreams of its creative team - composer Stephen Keeling, writer Shaun McKenna and writer/director Steven Dexter - were dashed.Twenty years later, Stage Door Records produced a 20th anniversary reissue of the Original London Cast Recording, together with a fascinating disc of cut songs and alternative versions. A new generation of musical theatre fans suddenly got interested. Now you can read the extraordinary story of "Maddie's" journey to the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. This is the "making of" book written at the time, when the paint had barely dried on the set and the wounds were still raw, now updated and expanded with the benefit of hindsight. Many of the great names of 1990s musical theatre wander through these pages - not just the always supportive Sondheim but people like Cameron Mackintosh (who writes the Foreword ), Mike Ockrent and Lionel Bart. It is a vivid portrait of three beginners having the adventure of their lives. They had plenty of energy, plenty of talent and plenty of guts - and they made plenty of mistakes. "Maddie" is a musical comedy about a dead wannabe film star who refuses to give up on her belief that she can make it big - even after she has been dead for fifty years! Sometimes it seemed that the character herself was controlling the show's destiny, refusing to lie down even when the prospects of success were at their bleakest.Finally finding its home with producer Kenny Wax - then a rookie, now a major West End player - "Maddie's" journey involved promises made and promises broken, blind faith, steep learning curves, death, illness, near bankruptcy, fraudsters, creative slanging matches, sulks, extraordinary twists of fate and the unbelievable generosity of scores of people who had never invested in theatre before.Shaun McKenna's account is a lively and entertaining read that covers everything from how they constructed the Book, Sondheim's personal input into writing lyrics, how shows are put together out of London and what happens when they transfer. It is a vivid portrait of 1990s theatre, when it was still possible for unknown writers to write an original show and get it as far as a West End stage. It contains a fascinating chapter about the formation of the Mercury Workshop (now Mercury Musical Developments), an organisation dedicated to helping new musical theatre talents emerge."Maddie and Us" is a book for anyone interested in musical theatre, showbiz memoirs, and inside stories.

The book spans Ernest's life from when he is a toddler to the time when he is a happily married man, satisfied with his work and career, so different from what his dear aunt originally had in mind for him.
