From the author of the hit cocktail books Tequila Mockingbird and Gone with the Gin comes a guide to getting ahead in life, love, and leadership-Broadway style!

Before Tim Federle became a beloved author (his award-winning novels include Better Nate Than Ever, which Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda declared as highly recommended in the New York Times), Federle worked in the showbiz trenches as a Christina Aguilera back-up dancer, Radio City Polar bear, and card-carrying chorus boy on Broadway. Along the way, he discovered that the hard-earned lessons he was learning onstage could be applied to his life, too.

Life Is Like a Musical features fifty tips and anecdotes, with chapters such as Let Someone Else Take a Bow, Dance Like Everyone’s Watching, and Save the Drama for the Stage. This charming and clever guide will appeal to all ages and inspire listeners to remember that they are the stars of their own life story.
