"GEMIGNANI: Life & Lessons from Broadway & Beyond seeks to not only bring the reader into the orchestra pit to learn Gemignani's side of the story, but to educate the reader as to the crucial role a Music Director plays in bringing some of the most iconic musicals in Broadway history to life."

Can't wait for this.

He has been in the ‘room where it happened’ on so many occasions, I am looking forward to it :)

There was so much lacking in Rose and that's why she had to prove herself through her children. [interviewer]In ways that reminded you of your mom?[/interviewer]. Let's just say the role was very interesting for me. That one was the most interesting [I've ever played]" - Bernadette Peters (2018)

Is it true (or rumored) he had/has a contentious relationship with Sondheim?

Why would they have continued to work together for so long if they didn’t get on at least professionally?

Very nice - I just hope we are reminded closer to it's release.  Sounds like a book sorely missing!
