BOOK REVIEW: The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

Arguing the Originality of Broadway?
The Daily Beast has an article from March 17th lamenting the lack of originality in today’s Broadway musicals. Some of her points may be valid, but there is a glaring error in her criticism. Author Michele Willens gets nostalgic for the “good old days” when Broadway was full of original shows. She says, “Remember the…
