OK Lightweight Reading
By Erik NYC
Mildly enjoyable rehash of Broadway gossip. Hadleigh's over-reliance on pages (and pages) of standalone quotes on various topics (thesping, the problem with musicals, etc.) becomes monotonous after awhile.
And one of those quotes is jarringly wrong---on page 288, Hadleigh includes a comment from Madeline Kahn on Nathan Lane's success in "The Producers"---"The Producers" opened in 2001 and Kahn died in 1999. Oops.

This is not HOLLYWOOD BABYLON for Broadway fans
By John McWhorter
This is a weird little scrapbook promoted as a book.
Hadleigh has two goals.
One is to make sure we know that a great many people working on or around Broadway are gay. Even when he is addressing topics unrelated to sexuality, he must get in that such-and-such was -- Wow! -- gay. But how many people who would buy this book have missed that there is a certain nexus between the gay world and the theatre world?
The other goal is to just dish, and that could make for a fun book. But what Hadleigh wants to dish about often makes him seem like someone who stepped out of a time machine from 1986.
This is a book most excited about the likes of Carol Channing, how bad CATS was, Michael Bennett, and AIDS. Except for the coverage of RENT, this book reads as if it was written two decades ago-plus by a show music fan of a certain age. Mary Martin? Harold Lang? THE BOYS IN THE BAND?
I suppose there is value in getting the nuggets Hadleigh has mined from dishy conversations in piano bars and after cabaret shows down in print, and I am sincere in that.
But readers going from the title will be disappointed. This book is largely a meandering anthropological survey of the Broadway scene from about 1948 to 1988. Special attention is paid to who was gay and which among them died of AIDS. Special attention is paid to performers and shows most of interest to people who were attending to the aforesaid scene during those years, and thus chapters on the controversy over Jonathan Pryce in MISS SAIGON, whether or not Ethel Merman was nice, and magnificently "floppish" shows (a cultish in-joke cherished largely by fans the age of Ken "Not Since Carrie" Mandelbaum).
One chapter follows another for no apparent reason; it's like a transcript of a conversation you could have with an august old gent at Don't Tell Momma's.
If you wouldn't mind having that conversation, pick this one up. Otherwise, be under no impression that this is, in the true sense, a book.

An Incoherent Mess
By V. Addams
Disappointing isn't even the word. This is one of the most amateur excuses for a coherent book I've ever seen. Entire chapters are merely pulled quotes from various theatre-folk past and present on random subjects without any apparent point or organization. This isn't writing, it's editing by a publicist. What chapters are supposedly authored by this Boze Hadleigh are written without color or insight and explained as if to a Broadway novice, when--who are we kidding?--the only audience for this kind of thing is the Broadway afficianado. In appropriating the title "Broadway Babylon" Hadleigh doubtless wanted to invoke Kenneth Anger's legendary unmasking of Hollywood's seamier underside. Those expecting similar tales but of the Great White Way, will be doubly disappointed when they take stock of this cheap collection of card catalogue anecdotes and out of context quotations.
