Emily and Philip become instant friends when they find out they have two things in common: they are both from (our very own!) Rockville Centre and they love the musical Aurora. Using money they have saved up from holidays, birthdays, and celebrations, they take the train into NYC every week to see their favorite play. Not everyone shares their obsession for Auroro, such as Mr. Henderson, Emily’s English teacher who refuses to let her write persuasive essays about Aurora, and the owner of the show’s venue, who feels he will make more money cancelling the show to make room for plays co-starred by The Producers' Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. And there is still the mystery of who really wrote Aurora. The answer may solve all of their problems.
My Life: The Musical by MaryRose Wood is a humorous, fast-paced coming of age novel about holding onto your passion—and fighting for it! This is great book to read even if you are not a thespian; but if you are into theater, you will definitely appreciate the references more, especially the fact that every chapter opens with a quote from a Broadway show.
