And no one knows these hidden histories like Teale Dvornik, who has been leading Broadway fans on tours of the theatre district since 2017. With her immense knowledge and passion for the theatre, Dvornik now takes readers on her one-of-a-kind tour of Broadway, \"stopping\" at each of the 41 theatres to tell us fun facts, lesser-known history, ghost tales, and interesting stories about actors, performances, stage flukes, blunders, and more, involving the biggest names and productions in theatre history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn about the Tiffany chandeliers of the Belasco Theatre, the trove of hidden jewels at the Gershwin (which houses years of history from the beloved musical \u003ci\u003eWicked\u003c\/i\u003e), and the impresarios and players who influenced Broadway.

Which theatres have secret connecting hallways?
