Jews on Broadway: An Historical Survey of Performers, Playwrights, Composers, Lyricists and Producer

Fanny Brice, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Barbra Streisand, Alan Menken, Stephen Sondheim--Jewish performers, composers, lyricists, directors, choreographers and producers have made an indelible mark on Broadway for more than a century. Award-winning producer Stewart F. Lane chronicles the emergence of Jewish American theater, from immigrants producing Yiddish plays in the ghettos of New York's Lower East Side to legendary performers staging massive shows on Broadway.

In its expanded second edition, this historical survey includes new information and photographs, along with insights and anecdotes from a life in the theater.
