About the Book

There are thousands of performing arts schools grooming students for Broadway. Broadway is revered as the pinnacle of every performer's career. It's the "Olympics" of our sport that we have trained and worked so hard for. Would you be confident if you received a Broadway contract that said you were going to be a swing, a dance captain or an understudy? Hopefully you would reply, "yes"...after all, you have a college degree in the arts right? These are fundamental jobs in every Broadway musical, so why aren't graduates prepared to do these jobs? The problem is that there is "book knowledge" from school and "learned knowledge" from being on the job. This book series is here to bridge the gap between the two. Students are taught how to pick songs for the roles they are right for, how to perform them, how to study scripts, how to audition and how to show the best of themselves. They study the history of theatre and graduate with confidence that they can nail that audition and land a job. What happens when a talented performer actually books a job? What skill-set do they have to prepare them for the responsibilities that come along with performing under a union contract? It's a rude awakening for some performers to find out that about 85% of Broadway performers are not principal performers. Even the small percentage of principals on Broadway are not always principals! Sometimes, throughout their careers, they are part of the chorus, an understudy, an alternate, a stand-by, a swing, or a dance captain. The career choices are endless on Broadway and the idea is to prepare yourself for all opportunities. "Be the best on Broadway" is a how-to-series that will demystify and teach those who really want a career on Broadway, no matter how much schooling you may (or may not) have. Each book is written by a Broadway professional with first-hand experience and is regarded as an expert. Each writer is respected by their peers for the work they contribute on a daily basis on Broadway. The series breaks down the different job particulars in depth and provides tangible Broadway show examples. The goal is to combine valuable insight and resources into one book series to strengthen the chance of success for those who have the Broadway dream! "Be The Best on Broadway" series is intended to be the newest "gold standard" of this industry. It will become one of those "must have" book series similar to "Audition" by Michael Shurtleff, "Meisner on Acting" by Sanford Meisner", and "Respect for Acting" by Uta Hagen. This particular book will prove to be invaluable to a dance captain as well as any performer who wants to learn through this special "lens" ...the eye of a dance captain! This book looks at Broadway through the unique perspective of a dance captain. It will help you understand what a dance captain does and why they are the backbones of any Broadway musical. It is a job function on Broadway that is not widely written about or taught in schools. Until now, it's been every actor fending for themselves when offered a dance captain contract. I have been there! It took me many years of being a Broadway dance captain to figure out what works and what doesn't. I wish I had someone or some book to give me guidance at the beginning of my career. Think of this book as a "book of secrets" to give you the chance to be an outstanding dance captain. There is nothing more rewarding than being recognized by your peers for doing your job well. The tips in this book will make you stand out as a dance captain. It also deals with relationship skills needed for a career on Broadway. "Talent" doesn't give you opportunities, relationships do! The goal is not to just do it well, but to become "the best" at it! The ultimate goal is to have it be the only book you will ever need to be the best dance captain on Broadway.
