In this touching and often hilarious theatrical memoir, Ron Fassler tells the stories of how over a four-year span, between the ages of 12-16, he saw 200 Broadway plays and musicals for as little as $1.50 a ticket—and all from UP IN THE CHEAP SEATS. Such landmarks as Company, 1776, The Great White Hope, Hair, Follies and Pippin are but a small sampling of the original productions Fassler saw, funded entirely from the money earned as a Long Island paperboy. Threading his own stories with theirs, the book features memories and insights from the likes of Harold Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Bette Midler, Sheldon Harnick, James Earl Jones, Austin Pendleton, Ken Howard, Hal Linden, Stacy Keach, Jane Alexander and Mike Nichols among many others.

As an actor, Ron Fassler was in 2017's REBEL IN THE RYE, and among the directors with whom he has worked are Mike Nichols, Clint Eastwood, Christopher Guest, Jay Roach and Danny Strong. His dozens of TV shows, cartoons and commercials include portrayals of doctors, lawyers, police captains, police snitches and the voice of a talking toilet bowl.
