The stars come out to celebrate Seth Rudetsky's new theatre-centric novel!

Broadway commentator, music director and superfan Seth Rudetsky recently penned a new novel for young adults titled THE RISE & FALL OF A THEATER GEEK and it is now available to order with a starry recent book release party featuring FROZEN stars Jonathan Groff and Santino Fontana as well as Broadway favorite Julia Murney and more and a new series of videos of the stars reading scenes from the theatre tome is now available to view.

In the clips, Broadway/Hollywood crossover star Jonathan Groff joins Fontana and Rudetsky for a live reading of the first chapter from the novel, while another video showcases Murney joining Rudetsky, Fontana and AVENUE Q standout Ann Harada for a live reading of Chapter 4.

Additionally, Groff re-teamed with FROZEN co-star Santino Fontana and performed the standout FROZEN score selection "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?" as part of the performance section of the evening, too, as BroadwayWorld reported here.

The official description of THE RISE & FALL OF A THEATER GEEK is as follows: "Broadway, New York. The shows, the neon lights . . . the cute chorus boys! It's where Justin has always wanted to be--and now, with a winter internship for a famous actor, he finally has his chance to shine. If only he could ditch his kind, virtuous, upright, and--dare he say it?-uptight boyfriend, Spencer. But once the internship begins, Justin has more to worry about than a cramped single-guy-in-the-city style. Instead of having his moment in the spotlight, he's a not-so-glorified errand boy. Plus, Spencer is hanging out with a celebra-hottie, Justin's best friend Becky isn't speaking to him, and his famous actor boss seems headed for flopdom. Justin's tap-dancing as fast as he can, but all his wit and sass might not be enough to switch his time in New York from nightmare-terrible to dream-come-true terrific. Seth Rudetsky's second YA novel is endearingly human, laugh-out-loud funny, and for any kid who's ever aspired to Broadway but can only sneak in through the stage door."
