The Playbill Broadway YearbookWWWW 2009-2010 includes a wealth of photos from Broadway insider events including "Gypsy of the Year" "Broadway Bares" and the annual Broadway League softball championship. To top it all off The Playbill Broadway YearbookWWWW 2009-2010 has asked each production to supply a member of the cast or crew to serve as correspondent to report on things that only those who worked backstage would know: opening night presents who got the Gypsy Robe daily rituals celebrity visits favorite health tips and regimens memorable ad-libs etc. Correspondents range from dressers and stage doormen to stage managers dancers featured players and in some cases the star of the show.
