Why does my book by Marty Bell have the title "Broadway Stories - a Backstage Journey through Musical Theatre", in stead of the title everyone else is quoting here? It's the same book, published in 1993. That's the year I bought it, and it has a jacket with the photo mentioned above, the Guys and Dolls Finale.

Yes, I think you are looking for the book I have. Those chapters you mentioned are in my book, along with chapters about the score for City of Angels, the book for Will Rogers, interviews with Faith Prince while awaiting the Tony nominations, a fantastic chapter about Nick and Nora as seen through the eyes of understudy Kay McClelland, and much more.

I don't know if it was retitled and released as the book people are linking to above. It's very possible.
