Singer, songwriter, actor, and philanthropist Josh Groban possesses one of the most outstanding and instantly recognizable voices in music. He has sold over 35 million albums worldwide, headlined legendary venues on multiple continents, and has also entertained audiences with acclaimed film and television appearances. A Tony, Emmy, and five-time Grammy nominee, he has packed arenas around the world and made his Broadway debut in 2016. This spring, he’ll release a career-spanning collection of songs and play The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in an exclusive run. His Find Your Light Foundation helps enrich the lives of young people through arts, education and cultural awareness.

“In this searing and inspiring memoir, Jeffrey Seller writes the book he wishes he’d had as a kid; about a wildly brilliant, closeted young man from tough circumstances in Detroit who finds his way into the wilds of New York and helps develop and support some of the most innovative musical theater of the twentieth and twenty-first century. It belongs on your shelf next to Act One by Moss Hart—if you can manage to put it down; I certainly couldn’t.”—Lin-Manuel Miranda
.
Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. Musical theater and a move to New York allowed him to find his voice and make his way on Broadway.
.
In this memoir, he pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award—all the while finding himself. Theater Kid is a gripping memoir about fighting through a hardscrabble childhood to make art on one’s own terms, chasing a dream against many odds, and finding acceptance and community.
