Before Tim Federle became a bestselling author and a Broadway playwright, he worked as a back-up dancer at the Super Bowl, a polar bear at Radio City, and a card-carrying chorus boy on Broadway. Life is Life a Musical features 50 tips learned backstage, onstage, and in between gigs, with chapters such as "Dance Like Everyone's Watching" and "Save the Drama for the Stage." This charming and clever guide will appeal to all ages and inspire readers to step into the lead role of their own life, even if they're not a recovering theater major.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Ever feel like your life could use a little more flash or that you deserve a little more of the spotlight? Let acclaimed dancer and actor Tim Federle tell you how it’s done. This is no ordinary self-help guide. It’s a course in treating each day like you’re playing the role of a lifetime—even if you have no plans to ever appear on stage. With plenty of humour and an engagingly chatty voice, Federle shows you how to approach jobs, relationships, and other life essentials with the flair of a stage star, from choosing your ideal “role” at work or at home, to coping with setbacks and rejection, to basking in the applause you’ve worked hard for. In 50 short and memorable chapters, he illustrates how lessons from showbiz can be universal, like getting over stage fright, rehearsing until you get it right, and respecting your co-stars. Of course, Federle is an expert performer, and he makes this audiobook into a captivating one-man show. So don’t miss your cue. Press play and prepare to dazzle.
