Description

New York City, 1932: Eva Le Gallienne is trying to save her theatre company from the jaws of the Depression by mounting an innovative new production of Alice in Wonderland. She agrees to give a radio interview for the sake of publicity, but while revisiting the moments that shaped her career, she struggles with the need to keep a significant secret: she and her leading lady are in love. As Eva’s work careens toward catastrophe, she fights to preserve her dream of a people’s theatre—but will she destroy the people she loves in the process? The true story of one of the 20th century’s most remarkable artists, The Queen of Fourteenth Street reverberates powerfully today, as the American theatre faces an uncertain future and LGBTQ rights are once again under attack.

The Queen of Fourteenth Street by Barrie Kreinik and narrated by Barrie Kreinik; Orlagh Cassidy; Imani Jade Powers; Elisabeth Rodgers; James Fouhey is short and sweet but so much fun! Authentic to the era, a real joy of an audiobook

I usually avoid audiobooks with a big cast as it is more of a production than someone telling you a story, but in this case, it is perfect! Each one of the narrators got the memo and met the era head-on. Fun, authentic, delightful

Thank you to NetGalley, Hachette Audio | Hachette Original, Barry Kreinik and narrators for this wonderful ALC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own

This was like listening to an old radio show. The story was quick and snappy and the different narrators popped in and out for their parts making the entire production feel alive and all encompassing. I knew nothing of this story and I appreciate how much work the author did into the history of Eva Le Galliene. As a theater lover and occasional actor this just makes me want to learn more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for my advance copy of this audiobook
