60 Years Under Bright Lights

A memoir from multihyphenate musical theatre professional Gary Giocomo, whose long career has taken him from early days as the only boy in a Chicago dance academy to the lights of Broadway at just 16 years old, innumerable credits across America during the golden age of dinner theatre and summer stock, sensational spectaculars on the stages of Las Vegas and Reno, and to leadership roles as artistic director and choreographer at professional regional theatre companies, where he built shows around stars such as television and Broadway star Marion Marlowe, New York cabaret icon Julie Wilson, Academy Award winner Margaret O'Brien, Tony and Emmy Award winner Nanette Fabray, and television star and former Miss America Lee Meriwether. With witty and visual storytelling, Giocomo shares the ups and downs of a life in show business, in the hope that fellow stage veterans can commiserate and newcomers can find inspiration.
