Description

Discover the real story of a theatrical icon in Lydia Thompson: Queen of Burlesque. As the first volume in the Forgotten Stars of the Musical Theatre series, this book brings a legendary performer back into the spotlight. While history often remembers her through scandalous rumors and outlandish tales, this work offers a much deeper look at her actual career.

Whether you are a student of musical theatre or a lover of women in art, this volume provides a necessary correction to the myths surrounding one of the most famous figures of her time.
