Ron Fassler is a writer, director and actor whose new book, "Up in the Cheap Seats: A Historical Memoir of Broadway" tells of his Broadway theatregoing experiences as a teenager—back when it was possible to see the biggest hits of the day for as little as $2. From the last row of the balcony, Ron saw the original productions of Cabaret, Company, The Great White Hope, 1776 and Pippin: two hundred Broadway shows in just a four-year span. The book includes recent conversations with theatre greats such as James Earl Jones, John Lithgow, Nathan Lane, Doris Roberts, Harold Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Bette Midler, Sheldon Harnick, Austin Pendleton, Ken Howard, Hal Linden, Stacy Keach, Jane Alexander and Mike Nichols among many others. As a seasoned veteran of theatre, film and television, Ron Fassler’s highly personal take and observations speak to a life's devotion to the creative arts. And his one true and everlasting love: the Broadway theatre. Find out more at www.ronfassler.org
