In The Cheap Seats, Historical Memoir of Broadway with Ron Fassler (03/24/2021)

Such landmarks as Company, 1776, The Great White Hope, Hair, Follies and Pippin are but a small sampling of the original productions Fassler saw, funded entirely from the money earned as a Long Island paperboy. Threading his own stories with theirs, the book features memories and insights from the likes of Harold Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Bette Midler, Sheldon Harnick, James Earl Jones, Austin Pendleton, Ken Howard, Hal Linden, Stacy Keach, Jane Alexander and Mike Nichols among many others. As an actor, Ron Fassler was in 2017's REBEL IN THE RYE, and among the directors with whom he has worked are Mike Nichols, Clint Eastwood, Christopher Guest, Jay Roach and Danny Strong. His dozens of TV shows, cartoons and commercials include portrayals of doctors, lawyers, police captains, police snitches and the voice of a talking toilet bowl. https://www.amazon.com/Up-Cheap-Seats-Historical-Broadway/dp/0998168629 https://www.ronfassler.org https://twitter.com/Ron_Fassler https://pwcenter.org/profile/ron-fassler https://www.instagram.com/ronfassler/?hl=en
