### What is the *Broadway Baby* book about?
“*We’re all Broadway babies at heart*,” said Broadway Cares Executive Director **Tom Viola**. At a time when theatres are temporarily shuttered and fans and artists are missing live performances, *Broadway Baby* charms with a whimsical love letter to Broadway. Artfully illustrated by the award-winning **Yoko Matsuoka**, this cheeky little Broadway Baby dreams of becoming a Broadway star. Those dreams take us on a truly theatrical journey from his crib to the playground to the heart of New York City, with nods to many elements that make live theatre so special.
***Broadway Baby*** celebrates the importance of theatre and creativity; encourages children and Broadway lovers of all ages to create and be whatever you want to be, whoever you are, wherever you are; and reminds readers that even the loftiest of dreams can come true.
### How the idea for *Broadway Baby *came about
Miller was inspired to write ***Broadway Baby*** after searching for a gift for his Tony Award-winning producing partner’s newborn daughter, Olivia. With nothing suitably theatre-centric available, he carefully crafted this new book as a go-to for theatre fans and performers alike.
“**Broadway Baby** was born of necessity,” said Miller. “*I felt there was a real need to create something authentically theatrical that would resonate with theatre lovers and children of all ages, something unique and sincere that serves as a special VIP invitation to join our magical world of theatreland*.”
### *Broadway Baby* creative team
Meteor 17’s Vice Chair, **Judith A. Proffer** – a former newspaper publisher (*LA Weekly*, Sun Community Newspapers), author (*When We Stayed Home, I Hope You Dance*), and award-winning boutique book publisher (Brandi Carlile’s *Caroline*, Graham Nash’s *Our House*) – worked closely with Miller on all aspects of creating ***Broadway Baby***. Proffer is a musical theatre buff who was “honored and delighted” to help bring the book to life.
Multi-award winning art director and graphic designer **Hugh Syme** brings his entertainment-centric brilliance to the book’s design. Syme’s work has been featured in a wide range of disciplines and by clients ranging from music (Aerosmith, RUSH, The David Geffen Company, Celine Dion, Capitol, Warner Bros, Atlantic, Virgin Music) to brand agencies (Saatchi & Saatchi, Young & Rubicam, Chiat Day) to movie studios (Universal, Paramount Pictures).
Miller has teamed with Spencer Proffer and Meteor 17 to bring ***Broadway Baby*** and its extensions, including toys, animation, and merchandise, to life on multiple platforms. Proffer will oversee and negotiate all the extensions.
