Dress Circle Publishing will release SETH'S BROADWAY DIARY, VOLUME 3: The Inside Scoop on (almost) Every Broadway Show & Star, the third in a series by Sirius XM radio host Seth Rudetsky on Tuesday, November 14.

The book will be available on Amazon and Kindle. To pre-order the book, visit www.dresscirclepublishing.com.

SETH'S BROADWAY DIARY, VOLUME 3 is the latest compilation of Seth's hilarious, Broadway-centric "Onstage and Backstage" columns for Playbill.com chronicling his unique life performing/hanging out with the Great White Way's biggest stars and cajoling/forcing them to reveal the highs (and lows) of their careers. In this volume you'll find out what Patti LuPone said when Seth suggested she sing her Evita songs in a lower key, what it's like Skype-ing with Jesse Tyler Ferguson and why Audra McDonald's dog wakes up covered in her bras. Plus a gazillion amazing stories straight from the mouths of stars like Laura Benanti, Megan Mullally, Gavin Creel, Sarah Silverman, Carol Burnett, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more!

"Want a hilarious peak behind the Broadway curtain? Then Seth Rudetsky is your man," says publisher Roberta Pereira. "The third installment of Seth's bestselling Broadway Diary once again gives fans unrestricted access to Seth's adventures on and off stage with some of theater's biggest names!"

According to Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, "If Seth Rudetsky didn't exist, we'd have to invent him. He is the friend who points out everything glorious and silly about your favorite shows. He leaves you laughing helplessly and in awe of his gifts and time management skills. Read this book and see how much Seth gets done in a day. It will make you reach for more."

Six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald adds, "What I love about Seth is that even decades after I've told him a behind the scenes story about my life in the theater, he will remember it better than I can and tell it better and funnier than I ever could."

Seth Rudetsky has worked as the music director and/or pianist for some of Broadway's biggest stars: Audra McDonald, Andrea Martin, Gavin Creel, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Patti LuPone, Christine Ebersole, Jessie Mueller and many more. He spent years as a pianist on Broadway playing such shows as Les Miserables, The Producers and Ragtime and currently divides his time between being the afternoon deejay on the Sirius XM Broadway channel/host of "Seth Speaks" as well as touring North America doing his show Deconstructing Broadway. His novels, My Awesome/Awful Popularity Plan, and the sequel The Rise and Fall of a Theater Geek are available on the Random House label and his Broadway musical Disaster!, which was a New York Times "Critics Pick," is licensed by MTI.
