Read by Kelly Bishop.
Absolutely loved this book. While I was excited to hear about Kelly Bishop's time on Gilmore Girls, I was even more entranced by her Broadway stories. Hearing how A Chorus Line came together was fascinating. While there were plenty of interesting tidbits about the business, I found myself really captivated by Kelly's personal life. Her perspective on life is inspiring. I want to see more of Kelly's work now.

Quotes:
- No way would I try to talk somebody out of their dream, no matter what it is. Whatever it is, I believe you immerse yourself in it, work hard at it, express yourself through it, challenge yourself with it. Give yourself every opportunity to fall in love with it and explore the adventures that come with it. If it's the right dream for you that allows you to support yourself so that you're not pursuing your dream at someone else's expense, it will probably last a lifetime. If it stops being enjoyable and fulfilling and you fall out of love with it, if it starts feeling like drudgery to the point where it becomes painful and depressing, there's nothing wrong with saying, "Okay, what else do I want to do with my life?" and start pursuing that dream.
- What on earth would we do if everyone dreamed of being a movie star or a famous rapper, but no one dreamed of being a health care worker, or a teacher, or a dentist, or a mechanic, or a veterinarian, or a police officer, or a soldier, or a carpenter, or a camera operator, or or or. What on earth would we all do without one another, which is why you'll never see me look down on anyone who's earning an honest living exploring their passion?
