Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fast-moving, candid, conversational, and entertaining memoir, Harold Prince, the most honored director in the history of the American theater (22 Tony Awards and counting), looks back over his 70-year (and counting!) career. Featuring original material from Contradictions: Notes on Twenty-Six Years in the Theatre, Prince provides a fresh, new perspective on his writing from the vantage point of today. Sense of Occasion gives an insider's recollection of the making of such landmark musicals as West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Company, Follies, Sweeney Todd, Evita, and Phantom of the Opera, with Prince's perceptive comments about his mentor George Abbott and his many celebrated collaborators, including Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Stephen Sondheim, John Kander, Boris Aronson, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Angela Lansbury, Elizabeth Taylor, Zero Mostel, Carol Burnett, and Joel Grey. As well as detailing his titanic successes that changed the form and content of the American musical theater, Prince even-handedly reflects on the shows that didn't work, most memorably and painfully Merrily We Roll Along. Throughout, he offers insights into the way business is conducted on Broadway, drawing sharp contrasts between past and present. This thoughtful, complete account of one of the most legendary and long-lived careers in theater history, written by the man who lived it, is an essential work of personal and professional recollection.

She was like a volcano that was about to erupt, but somehow and very unusual for Maria, she didn’t erupt. For although she wanted to rant and rave and screech and squabble and stamp her feet and wave her arms, she knew that at this time it was important, if their plan was to succeed, to stay calm and quiet.”

Book excerpt: "Hal Prince's career in the American theatre ... [as of 1974] has encompassed every aspect of producing and directing. Having served his apprenticeship with George Abbott, he co-produced in 1954 (with Robert Griffith and Frederick Brisson) the hit musical The Pajama Game. He went on to produce (with Robert Griffith and Frederick Brisson) Damn Yankees and New Girl in Town. In 1957, he produced (with Robert Griffith and Roger L. Stevens) West Side Story, and two years later (with Robert Griffith), the Pulitzer Prize-winning Fiorello! In addition, he produced Take Her, She's Mine, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and the record breaking Fiddler on the Roof. He worked in the dual capacity of director and producer on She Loves Me, Cabaret, Zorba, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, and most recently, Candide. He also directed one film, Something for Everyone. In telling the story of his career, Hal Prince deals self-critically with his experience in the theatre and gives his candid opinions on such varied subjects as the harm a star can do to a show, the single-mindedness of unions, the choice of the right theatre, the power of the critic, good and bad, and most important, the director as producer."--Dust jacket.

Book excerpt: Scrambling to prepare for the imminent invasion of their homeland, the Knights of Alcea respond in unorthodox ways. On the home front, the Alceans set out to design devious traps that will lessen the incredible odds facing them. In Zara, Knights of Alcea and Alcean Rangers set their sights on the heirs to the Federation thrones. On both continents, a campaign of disinformation is begun with the Alcean spymaster personally throwing himself into the very heart of the enemy's camp. But neither are Alutar's minions standing idle. The Claws of Alutar strike deep into the heart of Alcea, bringing death inside the walls of Tagaret, and the Great Demon's forces gain a decisive victory by finding something that was never supposed to be found. The world is rushing to war at a dizzying pace, and there is no way to stop it. Or is there?
