Michael Riedel’s non-fiction catalog ranges from Broadway history to a guide on veterans’ benefits. His most well-known works are Razzle Dazzle: The Battle for Broadway, published in 2015, and Singular Sensation: The Triumph of Broadway from 2020. These two books form an informal duology covering Broadway from the grim days of 1970s Times Square through its commercial resurgence.
His earlier Veterans Unclaimed Benefits: The Insider’s Guide from 2003 addresses a completely different subject, providing practical information for military veterans. The 2014 book on Oskar adds a biographical dimension to his catalog. Across his theater writing, Riedel is known for naming names and telling stories that the industry often prefers to keep quiet.
