Broadway, Jeeves? : the diary of a theatrical adventure

In 2001, Martin Jarvis played the eponymous role in the American production of Alan Ayckbourn and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Wodehouse adaptation, "By Jeeves".

This is the diary he kept of that tour; a study of triumphs, failures and mindbending chaos as cast and crew ambitiously attempt to steer the production from the snows of Pittsburgh to the glory of the "Great White Way", arriving on Broadway to coincide with the horrific events of 11th September 2001.Packed with theatrical anecdotes, gossip and Jarvis' wry observations on culture shock and the theatre world, "Broadway Jeeves?" is a mixture of comedy and drama.

It offers a revealing peek behind teh scenes of a major Broadway production and into the psychology of the people who desperately tried to keep it afloat.
