I did not intend to be up this early, I intended to sleep in because I was up until two reading the Gower Champion book, which I'm in the midst of (in the Hello, Dolly chapter). It's not the brilliant book people on the chat boards are trying to say it is - it's fine, well-written and well-researched, but there is a sameness thus far to all the sections about the shows. Gower is cold, Gower is rigid, Gower is responsible for everything good. What there isn't, thus far, is drama. You want drama, read Writer's Block (those who've read it know that one of the characters is partly based on Mr. Champion). With all the out-of-town tryouts and stuff, you want those stories to be told with a sense of drama, since they ARE dramatic. So far, not in this book. Maybe Steve Suskin's book Second Act Trouble (which is what Writer's Block is ALL about) will be more, how shall I say, fun. Of course, it keeps getting pushed back by its publisher, and it doesn't seem like it will be out until January.
