Richard Seff has spent 60 years in the theatrical jungle as actor, playwright, librettist, agent, investor and now memoirist. He first acted professionally in 1946 and his last engagement onstage was in 2006. He took a 22 year leave of absence from the stage after a long run on Broadway in support of Claude Rains and on tour with Edward G. Robinson in the prize winning Darkness At Noon. During those 22 years he represented artists in the musical theatre. He left the talent agency in 1974 at the height of his career to return to the stage. In the 30 years that have followed, he’s appeared in some 25 plays, for one of which (Angels Fall) he won the Carbonell Award for ‘Best Supporting Actor In A Play’. He’s been in 7 feature films and over 50 television series, soap operas, TV films and mini-series. He is the author of Paris Is Out! which brightened Broadway in 1970 for 104 performances. The musical Shine! for which he wrote the book, won a National Music Theatre Network Award in 2001 and has been published by Samuel French, Inc. and recorded by Original Cast Records. Hit the dressing rooms with him and discover what goes on backstage, in the wings, and behind closed doors. Learn about theatre investing in the Golden Age, when one could buy a piece of a show in the intermission on opening night. He’s got tales to tell! Join him on this fun filled odyssey through the decades in shows starring Alan Alda, Ethel Merman, Chita Rivera, Dick Van Dyke, William Hurt, Christopher Reeve, Richard Thomas, Judd Hirsch, Jason Robards, in others directed by Hal Prince and written by John Kander and Fred Ebb. Come on along and listen to — well, you know what. He’s Got Tales to Tell! “Richard Seff’s career in the theatre represents active participation as agent, producing associate, librettist, and, ultimately, as a skilled actor … In fact, he was responsible for recommending me to, among others, John Kander and James and William Goldman, to take over the direction of A Family Affair in Philadelphia on its way to Broadway … It turns out he’s a fine writer as well, and this chronicle of an unusual and varied life in the theatre makes excellent and valuable reading.” — Hal Prince “Oh, what a journey we’ve had. I thank Richard Seff for helping mold the life that I am still enjoying today. To live it again, through his own words, fills my heart.” — Chita Rivera “He is a clever old sausage. Far more interesting to see written from his perspective than from a grander vantage point. Far more revealing and very redolent of the profession and its various joys, tribulations, and humiliations. Well done!” — Emma Thompson “A very interesting look at our business from an angle most people never are aware of, including those who are most visibly involved.” — Alan Alda “For years Richard Seff has been one of the wittiest raconteurs on the Rialto, but a pleasure known only to the cognoscenti. Now he has gone public with a biographical reminiscence brimming with anecdota, insight and intelligence. Bravo!” — Stefan Kanfer author of Ball of Fire

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. It is a lively, lovely read By Heroicman Normally the theater is not my standard reading material, but I found this a very entertaining and heart warming book. Mr. Seff knows the business well and has a knack with words. The result is an entertaining and often funny look at the "behind the scenes" happenings in modern theater. Filled with many well know personalities, even to this non-theater buff, the book leaves one wishing they had been there. I particularly enjoyed the sense of getting to know Mr. Seff and all his comrades, and was reluctant to put the book down and no longer be part of their lives.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Must for any theatre buff. By Bert Cohen I am not in theatre, but I love going to theatre, and after reading Richard Seff's informed and informative memoir, I feel I've just relived the last 50 years of my life. He has captured the Golden Age of Broadway, and put it all down with insight, humor, and great joy. I've seen so many of the shows with which he was involved, but it was great fun 'going backstage' with him, eavesdropping and listening in on all those goings on.Bert Cohen
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Learn the inside scoop of life in the theater By Charles P. Japely If you're interested in what it's like to live your life in the theater, you should read this book.I wanted to read a book highlighting some of the past fifty years of work from someone who was truly on the inside, and I'm glad I picked this up. It's a fast paced tour of the life of a talent who didn't chase leading roles but enjoyed the work of a character actor, playwright, agent, and investor in all aspects of theater. He describes life on the road, in summer stock, and on Broadway with many of the stars of the last half century.It's a page-turning story of someone whose heart was in the theater and made a fascinating life out of it.Well recommended.
