I first met Seth Rudetsky back when Bill Clinton was President, when he and I were working on the Broadway revival of Grease. You know, the one where the theater was painted pink and everyone from Brooke Shields to the Olympic Gymnast Dominique Dawes made an appearance (oh, and Billy Porter played Teen Angel!).

Since then Seth has written for Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show, hosted a Sirius radio show, written an off Broadway Disaster musical, and deconstructed lots of diva performances in his Chatterbox.

And now, he wrote a book?

What’s cool about the book is that it’s actually like a written down version of his Chatterbox.  It’s filled with stories . . . super funny ones from Broadway superstaaaaahs like Patti LuPone, Chita Rivera and more.

And, of course he’s included a lot of his own personal stories like the time . . . nope.  Can’t write that one without getting this blocked by your office firewall.  You’re just gonna have to get it yourself.

Or you can win one!

How?

Well, you don’t have to be a superstaaaaah or Seth Rudetsky to have a funny stage story.  I remember when I was doing Anything Goes in high school, my mic got a case of feedback just as I screamed, “Hope!  Hope!” and it sounded like my voice cracked like a 12 year old boy.  The audience cracked up.  I didn’t know what happened.  “That wasn’t supposed to be one of the funny lines,” I thought.

What’s your funny stage story?  It doesn’t even have to have happened to you.  Tell me your “diary” story and one of you will win Seth’s Broadway Diary!
