What caught my attention in this book was the story about ‘dreams.’ In this book, you can see how a young girl opened her eyes to 'theater' and the extent of her passion.

Above all, I was very impressed by the scene below, which depicts my first impression of her play.

​Also, what I liked most about reading this book was not the fancy fantasy of 'play', but the process of making that fantasy become reality. To this end, the behind-the-scenes story, which people cannot easily see, unfolds in a fun way, showing how many people work hard and work hard behind the scenes.

​In addition, this book explains the process in detail, from technical aspects such as lighting, directing, and staging to auditions, actual plays, ticketing, and after-party. I think this is a good book for people who are curious about theater to read.

The main character, Collie, who wants to make the Broadway play of her dreams a success, encounters realistic difficulties. She becomes very frustrated when things don't go as she planned. But as it turns out, this is also our reality. Sometimes I feel like cartoons are more realistic.

​But every time Collie remembers her childhood dreams and her love of theater. She tries to overcome the difficulties of her reality by imagining her favorite Broadway play. I sympathized with this image as it was like when we dream of something, but feel frustrated or want to give up due to the wall of reality, we remember a dream like our previous first love and gain strength.

​However, the conclusion is a happy ending with the main character achieving his dream in the future.
