Do you have a shelf full of original cast albums? If so, you will love Broadway press agent Susan L. Schulman’s fun, dishy new book BACKSTAGE PASS TO BROADWAY. Susan has survived some of the most celebrated train wrecks and backstage dramas on Broadway. She tells us what it is like to work with the most talented and creative people in the theatre – sometimes behaving badly and often with incredible grace – as they struggle to create theatrical magic. Susan has worked with some of Broadway’s greatest stars, producers, writers and directors including Zero Mostel, George C. Scott, Lauren Bacall, Mary Martin, Bob Fosse, Yul Brynner, David Merrick, Robert Preston, Raul Julia, Robert Redford, Vanessa Redgrave, Katharine Hepburn, Henry Winkler, Glenn Close and many more. The Broadway shows she has represented include DANCIN’, STATE FAIR, SCAPINO, SLY FOX, DREAM, DEATH AND THE MAIDEN, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, and THE MERCHANT. In this entertaining book, Susan takes us behind the show curtain, sharing true tales of her life in the theatre. BACKSTAGE PASS TO BROADWAY is illustrated in color with previously unpublished photographs from the author’s private collection. And if you appreciate Broadway window cards and posters, you will recognize the distinctive style of Broadway’s legendary graphic designer, FRAVER, who created the cover.


Editorial Reviews:


Take this backstage tour from an insider who lived it. Like Susan, this book is smart and funny. —TV icon HENRY WINKLER

Susan L. Schulman’s scintillating “tell-some” contains just enough backstage dirt and glitz to be compulsively readable from start to finish. An impressive galaxy of egos and artists is sprinkled like stardust over four decades of theatrical press-agentry and repairs--Lauren Bacall, Zero Mostel, Mary Martin, George C. Scott, Yul Brynner, Bob Fosse and The Mighty Merrick, whom she actually bested. Worth the price of the book alone is the hilarious chapter on “Dream.”
—HARRY HAUN, PLAYBILL MAGAZINE

An expert press agent makes sure the spotlight is focused on the show, never themselves. No press agent embodies that credo better than Susan L. Schulman, and now - after serving in the Broadway theatre during some of its most exciting times and with some of its biggest stars - she pivots that giant klieg light behind-the-scenes. Her stories and incomparable insight are smart, witty, sometimes harrowing and often hilarious.
—BERT FINK, THE RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN ORGANIZATION

The book is a great read! Susan leads us into a world of magic and craziness and captures what it's really like behind the scenes on Broadway. —Tony Award-winner KAREN ZIEMBA

From her unique vantage point we get the down and dirty, and it makes us admire her even more.
—TV, film and stage star JOHN DAVIDSON

When I heard that Susan L. Schulman had written "Backstage Pass to Broadway: True Tales from a Theatre Press Agent" (Heliotrope, September, 2013), a memoir of her decades behind the scenes on Broadway, I immediately requested a copy and put it at the top of my reading pile. Who better than this insider to give us a tour of the goings on and celebrity tidbits that make Broadway one of the most exciting places to be?

I started smiling at the very opening of the book, designed to look like the credits in a Playbill:
