By one of our most popular actors, the diary of an extraordinary year on Broadway In 2001 Martin Jarvis played the title role in the American production of Alan Ayckbourns' and Andrew Lloyd Webbers' musical Wodehouse adaptation, By Jeeves. This is the diary he kept of that tour; a study of triumphs, failures and mindbending chaos as cast and crew ambitiously attempt to steer the production from the snows of Pittsburgh to the glory of the 'Great White Way', arriving on Broadway to coincide with the horrific events of 9/11. Packed with theatrical anecdotes, gossip and Jarvis' wry observations on culture shock and the theatre world, Broadway, Jeeves? is a heady mixture of comedy and drama. It is a revealing peek behind the scenes of a major Broadway production, and into the psychology of the people who desperately tried to keep it afloat.
