Goodreads asked David Pratt:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Pratt When I was in my teens and first got interested in the Broadway theater, Times Square was a wreck and so was the commercial theater industry. It was the early 1970s and no one knew what audiences wanted. Some very odd shows came and went almost literally overnight. Their titles, if they lingered in the collective memory at all, became punchlines. But real people wrote those shows -- and directed and designed and produced them. Who were those people whose shows -- sometimes their only shows -- disappeared without a trace?
