Review:
'Earnest and thorough.'
New York Times

'This fine book will be greeted with applause by the many Broadway buffs, show-tune collectors and musical mavens.' Publishers Weekly

'Long-overdue and richly detailed.'
Chicago Sun-Times

'Broadway, the Golden Years, is really seven books in one. It traces a unique and fascinating facet of Broadway history through mini-biographies of its six foremost practitioners, plus a roundup of who's working today.'
Playbill On-Line

'Good one-stop shopping for material on principal choreographers.'
Choice

'Deftly depicting the relationships among many diverse artists, Long warmly conveys his sense of theater history and the craft tradition as a living chain of gifted individuals who were nurtured and challenged by those who preceded them.'
Washington Post

'Taking a fresh approach to that quintessential American form -- musical theater --, Long in his eloquent book examines the phenomenon of the choreographer, a figure usually low in the credits of propagation for a show.'
Confrontation, Fall 2002/Winter
