About this title: When Florenz Ziegfeld started in theatre, it was flea circus and sideshow rolled into one. When he left, the glamorous world of 'show-biz' had been created.

"Fun book! It's more about Broadway during Ziegfeld's lifetime in it; than his life in particular. But it's really quite a fascinating look at the beginnings of Broadway and how it was shaped by Ziegfeld and his Follies (which contained more than the girls which I didn't realize)."
"much info about famous former stars of theater and times i knew little about, interesting details and well written by a man who has a vast knowledge about the subject."
