A Broadway producer’s life, told across generations

Structured as conversations between Manny Azenberg and his daughter, this memoir traces a life that extends well beyond the stage. Azenberg recounts his Bronx childhood, Army service, teaching at Duke University, and a Broadway producing career that began in 1966 and encompassed plays and musicals. The book also foregrounds the principles he connects to that path: hard work, decent conduct, respect for others, reliability, and balance. Its father-daughter framing places professional milestones alongside personal memories, presenting theatre history through one producer’s recollections and the values he carried through different chapters of his life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Broadway producing and theatre-industry memoirs
  • Fans of personal histories rooted in the Bronx, military service, education, and the stage
  • Those who enjoy intergenerational memoir conversations

Book overview

Manny Azenberg has produced shows on Broadway since 1966. He produced sixty five plays and musicals, earned twenty five Tony Award nominations and won nine Tony Awards. In 2012, he won the Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre. In this heartfelt memoir, Manny sits down with his daughter to share his life's story. It is the story of a Jewish kid growing up in the Bronx, whose life and career adhered to values and principles: work hard, behave well, treat people with dignity and respect, don't welch, and seek balance. Manny's stories of his childhood in the Bronx, his service in the Army, his teaching career at Duke University, and his long and illustrious career on Broadway are told with warmth and humor; they are a chronicle of one of the most legendary Broadway careers of our time, as well as a life well lived.
