E. Stanley: This book is incredibly entertaining, and so easy to pick up when you want to read about someone new. These women are legendary with so many wild stories. Also some really wise advice for anyone who works in theatre or would like to. I've given it as a gift many times.

Darren Monk: Another one of those e-books that is basically a scan of the paper version. One page fits the screen - text is too small to read, so you have to pinch-to-zoom and then move the page around as you read. Why they can't upload it as a proper e-book is beyond me.

Ralph: Good reading for Broadway babies. Especially personal interviews that seem to reveal the human within the star. I especially appreciate the theatrical credits of each performer that start each chapter.

Kewlbreezes: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and relished reading about the struggles, discipline and tenacity required for women to succeed on Broadway. The women are not always likeable, but one can relate to them easily through their unique points of view. Their lives and careers are fascinating and Insightful to those who enjoy live theatre but may not understand the full journey of how success is born there. These interviews help the reader to more fully appreciate the arduous task these actresses face in shaping a career in theatre.

Mary S. Weinkauf: This is an absolute delight for those who love Broadway. All those wonderful actresses we have been priviledged to see in person get introduced in readable overviews. The book should be out where anyone can pick it up and browse through pictures and memories of the women we are willing to travel from the midwest to New York to watch on the stage where they really shine. I am leaving it out where anyone who drops in can get inspired and can see how hard work and talent makes an impact on the stage.
