Discover the surprising stories behind Broadway's most remarkable songs!

When Robert Preston shouted “Ya got trouble!” in The Music Man, when Carol Channing glided down a gilded staircase in Hello, Dolly!, when Barbra Streisand defied us to rain on her parade in Funny Girl, audiences were instantly enchanted. Showstoppers! explores the creation and impact of Broadway's most memorable songs.

Gerald Nachman draws on interviews with iconic figures like Patti LuPone, Joel Grey, and Jerry Herman to uncover the backstage drama and creative collaborations that brought these songs to life. Showstoppers! is a must-read for musical theater enthusiasts eager to appreciate the cultural significance and hidden stories behind their favorite Broadway hits.
