As a reader AND a theater nerd, I am loving this book! Could you tell us what inspired the story? And did you get to do any fun behind-the-scenes research?
Amy Poeppel
Thank you!! I, too, am a total theater and book nerd - two of my favorite things! Writing my book Limelight was my chance to throw myself into the behind-the-scenes world of Broadway, and I loved every minute. I go to see plays whenever I get the chance, and while I was writing Limelight, I met with actors and producers to get the inside scoop. (Also, back in ancient times when I was in my twenties, I did a little acting, and those experiences were helpful, too.) I also spoke with a few personal assistants and found their stories to be fascinating. Thanks for asking!!

Hi Amy, I don’t actually have a question, just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite authors! Your writing is intelligent, witty, charming and all of your books are diverse. They don’t follow a formula. I’ve loved everything you’ve written. Can’t wait for your next book. Enjoyed The Sweet Spot but Musical Chairs was perfection! When will you have a new book coming out?
