Shy is the unapologetically frank memoir of Mary Rodgers, a composer, author, and Broadway royalty. Amid stark annotations by Jesse Green, this narrative weaves through the fabric of American musical theater, beginning with Mary's childhood under the shadow of her illustrious father, Richard Rodgers, to her own notable achievements including the musical 'Once Upon A Mattress' and the 'Freaky Friday' books. This memoir gives voice to Mary's personal and professional escapades, detailing her relationships, her struggles against sexism, and her journey of self-discovery. Shy not only charts the golden age of the theater but a tale of a woman defining art and love on her terms.
