Book ID/图书代码： 11684016B96419

English Summary/英文概要： What does a producer actually do? How does one travel from that great idea for a show to a smash hit opening night on Broadway? John Breglio cannot guarantee you a hit, but he does take the reader on a fascinating journey behind the curtains where he himself once stood as a child, dreaming about the theatre. Part memoir, part handbook, Behind the Curtains is a road map to the hows and wherefores, the dos and don’ts of producing a Broadway play, written by a Broadway veteran with more than 40 years of experience. This comprehensive and highly informative book features practical analysis and concepts for the producer-and is filled with entertaining anecdotes from Breglio’s illustrious career as a leading theatrical lawyer and producer. Breglio recounts not only his first-hand knowledge of the crucial legal and business issues faced by a producer, but also his experiences behind the scenes with literally hundreds of producers, playwrights, composers, and directors, including such theatre luminaries as Michael Bennett, Joe Papp, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Patti Lupone, August Wilson, and Mel Brooks. Whether you are a working or aspiring producer, an investor, or are just curious about the backstage reality of the theater, Breglio shares his knowledge and experience of the industry, conveying practical information set against the real-life stories of those who have devoted their lives to the craft.

Awards/获奖情况： “约翰•布雷里奥几乎全部分享他的观点，他做了几十年的律师，为那些想在从日常工作中退休、凭自己的能力成为制片人之前，以伟大的白人方式演出的人提供建议……”《我想成为一名制片人》的吸引力是巨大的。在专业层面上,这是一个男人知道他的法律和商业惯例在耐心地解释事情，显然....读到《我想成为一名制片人》的时候，买家将会学到很多百老汇的技巧，表演制作的业务，和喜怒无常的艺术类型打交道的困难，更不用说商业人士了。如果认为这本书只不过是一本给未来制片人的手册，那就大错特错了。一般的读者将会学到很多关于后台业务的知识，并可能因此更尊重那些涉及的人。”——英国剧院指南

"John Breglio could hardly be better qualified to share his views, having spent decades as a lawyer advising those wishing to put shows on to the Great White Way before retiring from the day job and becoming a producer in his own right...The attractions of I Wanna Be a Producer are numerous. On a professional level, this is a man who knows his law and business practice inside out and explains things patiently and clearly….By the end of I Wanna Be a Producer, purchasers will have learned a great deal about the mechanics of Broadway, the business of show production and the difficulties of working with temperamental artistic types, not to mention business people. It would be a mistake to assume that this book is nothing more than a manual for would-be producers. The general reader will learn a vast amount about backstage business and may well respect those involved far more as a result." --British Theatre Guide
