From the musical hits Lion King and Bring In da Noise, Bring In da Funk, to important new off-Broadway plays such as Beauty Queen of Leenane and Wit, the latest volume in this popular series features a chronological collection of facsimiles of every theater review and awards article published in the New York Times between January 1997 and December 1998. Includes a full index of personal names, titles, and corporate names. Like its companion volume, the New York Times Film Reviews 1997-1998, this collection is an invaluable resource for all libraries.

New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
