I Danced on Broadway

      Memoir of a

    Career on Stage

      In this uplifting memoir, Lee Wilson shares stories about theatre legends including Agnes de Mille, Richard Rodgers, Michael Bennett, Donna McKechnie, and Bernadette Peters. She details the economic, political, and social events that led from the Golden Age to the slump of the early 1970s to the rejuvenation of Broadway with the huge success of A Chorus Line. Wilson’s feminist viewpoint gives readers new insight into well-known musicals and examines why Golden Age musicals are still relevant to Broadway audiences today.

Lee Wilson danced on Broadway in four successive decades. She performed in hit musicals, like Hello, Dolly! and A Chorus Line, and notorious flops, like Lolita, My Love and La Strada. She lives, dances, and writes in Los Angeles.

"Lee Wilson should lecture at every musical theatre department of every university. I was rivited by her adventures and her fierce devotion and love for the discipline of dance." -- Melissa Manchester, Grammy Award-winning, Oscar-nominated singer/songwriter

"Lee has done it all with deep understanding and good advice about how to orchestrate a career, no matter your calling -- a great read and inspirational journey." -- Claudia Cagan, supervising producer, Entertainment Tonight
