A once-aspiring actress who never quite got over her dreams of Broadway stardom, Shukert lovingly sunk her teeth into studying (and frequently, inventing) every depth of NBC's embattled little-musical-that-couldn't, and in a short time, found herself at the guts of the backstage dilemma behind the backstage dilemma that captivated America (or at least, the part of it that spends lots of time handing out their head injections in Times Square). Youth heroes became devoted admirers. Rabid internet mobs needed her loss of life. And through everything, Rachel kept recapping, risking her health, her sanity, and her sleeping hygiene forever. And in some way, she made her Broadway dreams come true, although in ways she never might have dreamed as a nine-year-old lip-synching her way through the initial cast record of "Sunday in the Recreation area With George" back in her living room in Omaha. An inventive blend of memoir, ethnic criticism, and wildly absurdist enthusiast fiction (and including never-before-published material, suitable for sing-alongs!), Let Me Be Your Legend is your recap of recaps from a get good at of the proper execution, lifting the veil on fan culture, Broadway, and the girl behind the key pad desperately trying to think about another mildly erotic joke about Elaine Stritch at 4:30 am over a Tuesday. Anyone who loves television, the Internet, or In to the Woods (and if you don't fall into any of these categories, please persuade this computer that you are a individual) won't want to miss this thoughtful, amusing yoga on life, fine art, and the action of creation by one of our most inimitable comic voices.
