Getting ready for vacation and would like to bring a couple reads with me for the beach. I'm looking for Broadway bios or something like Diary of a Mad Playwright. Fun, light, juicy. Thanks!

Not precisely a Broadway bio but Baldwin's book Nevertheless is a pretty good read. 

Words that confuse censors:Fecund,penal,taint, titmouse, cockatoo,coccyx, ballcock, cockeye, prickly,kumquat, titter,cunning linguist, insertion, gobble, guzzle, swallow, manhole, rimshot,ramrod,come, fallacious, lugubrious,rectify,Uranus, angina, paradiddle,spotted dick,dictum, frock,cunctation, engorge,turgid,stiff, bush, uvula, crapulence, masticate, Dick Butkus, gherkin and of course the always bewildering lickety split. As you can see, context is every thing. Chuck Lorre Addendum: 555 382 5968 "Sexarama, Hexarama, Queeriosis, Feariosis!" Alec Baldwin “I’m going to have to science the shit outta this.” The Martian

I realize she is more known for her movies,  but Anna Kendrick's Scrappy Little Nobody was entertaining to read.

U might have already read them  but the Arthur Laurents books  Original |Story  and The Rest of the Story are pretty dishy.
