How to Survive a Killer Musical

Agony and Ecstasy on the Road to Broadway by

Douglas J. Cohen

Globe Pequot/Applause

When the young composer-lyricist Douglas Cohen first secured the musical rights to the novel No Way to Treat a Lady by William Goldman—the acclaimed author of The Princess Bride and Marathon Man—he hoped it would be his big break, the first step on a gilt path to artistic triumph and commercial success in the form of a hit Broadway musical. How to Survive a Killer Musical chronicles Cohen’s decade-long quest to bring that musical to the stage—writing, re-writing, and shepherding it across the US and Europe amidst all manner of adversity and plain rotten luck.
