Back in November, Broadway.com brought you the exclusive first chapter of dancer Tim Federle’s debut novel Better Nate Than Ever, a musical theater-themed coming-of-age tale about a small boy, a big city and E.T.: The Musical. The book is due to hit stores on February 5, and the launch party (hosted at the home of Disney Theatricals President Thomas Schumacher and his husband, designer Matthew White) included plenty of familiar Broadway faces who lent their support to Federle, including stage favorites Sherie Rene Scott, Julie Halston and Dee Hoty. All three talented ladies look downright enamored with the new book, and rightly so. You can grab your copy of Better Nate Than Ever next month and find out why this book has got the theater community buzzing!
