Bestselling author Penny Orloff will make her comedic novel 'Jewish Thighs on Broadway: Misadventures of a Little Trouper' available as a free ebook on Amazon on April 14, 2025. The book, which has achieved bestseller status in multiple categories including Comedy and Theatre Biographies, offers readers a witty and intimate look into the performing arts world.
The novel follows protagonist Abigail Paine, a performer navigating the complex and often challenging landscape of show business. Drawing from Orloff's extensive background as an actor and dancer, the book provides a semi-autobiographical exploration of the entertainment industry's trials and tribulations, blending humor, personal struggle, and insight.
Praised by critics and readers alike, the book has garnered significant acclaim. Metropolitan Opera Leading Tenor Jacques Trussel described it as 'ravishingly descriptive and continuously entertaining,' while an Amazon reviewer noted its delightfully screwball characters and abundant humor.
Orloff's own impressive performing arts career, which includes Broadway roles, performances with New York City Opera, and work with renowned directors like Harold Prince, lends authenticity to the narrative. The novel's free release represents an opportunity for readers to experience a unique, insider's perspective on the performing arts.
