Two hours later, he was said to have left with a spring in his step--and without the cane. This "miracle" is just one of many recounted in the lavish book <i>The American Theatre Wing, an Oral History: 100 Years, 100 Voices, 100 Million Miracles</i>. </p> <p>The other miracles are more commonplace, if no less remarkable, told by the impassioned artists and theater advocates who created and sustained this preeminent theatrical organization, including Angela Lansbury, Rosie O'Donnell, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, Harold Prince, Kenny Leon, Neil Patrick Harris, David Henry Hwang, Harvey Fierstein, and James Corden. These oral histories trace the American Theatre Wing's dedication to supporting and fostering American theater and the burgeoning and veteran artists in their stories--from Broadway, Off Broadway, and regional theater.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A fascinating cornucopia of untold lore and never-before-seen photos as prismatic and unexpected as the theater itself.-- "Broadway World"<br><br>Featured in <i>People</i> magazine's Best Gift Books December 2018.-- "People"<br><br>Loaded with first person anecdotes and never-before-seen-photos, this book takes you from the Wing's beginnings as a World War I charitable organization, to the establishment of the famed Stage Door Canteen during World War II, to the Wing of today that works tirelessly to support theatre on Broadway and all across the United States.-- "Playbill"<br><br>O, happy day! Journalist Pacheco, chosen by the American Theatre Wing to steward the compilation of a celebratory text commemorating the centenary of the American theater's most august organization, has delivered the loveliest valentine to the history of Broadway that any fan could hope for.-- "Barry X.
