In 1971, Ted Chapin was a production assistant on the legendary Broadway musical Follies.

Everything Was Possible takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride, from the uncertainties of casting to drama-filled rehearsals, and from the pressures of a Boston dry run to the triumph of opening night on Broadway.
