Reviews of What Would Barbra Do? How Musicals Saved My Life

"Spirited, articulate and utterly devourable ... If I could offer [Brockes] any advice, it would be ... to write as many books on as many subjects as she can, as fast as is reasonably possible."
The New York Times Book Review

"Charming and often hilarious ... This gift of joy should be read by those who love and hate musicals - this reviewer still hasn't stopped laughing."
Library Journal

"Brockes writes with wit and verve ... Delightful. Her passion is so contagious that this entertaining musical memoir ... might also be capable of creating converts."
Publisher's Weekly

"Sharply written and wickedly funny."
Daily Telegraph

"Entertaining and witty."
Independent on Sunday

"A warm, funny memoir."
Mail on Sunday
