Off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway productions are included in the appendix, as are shows that closed during out-of-town tryouts, regional shows, and British shows, mostly from London's West End theater district.The 772 main entries are arranged alphabetically by show title and contain a plot description followed by sections covering the show's pre-Broadway history; the Broadway run itself, with a considerable amount of "who, what, where, when, and why" information regarding the show and venue(s); and "after Broadway," with facts about tours, London productions, off-Broadway revivals, and movie and TV versions.
