Of the book, Broadway After Dark, Bill Hoffman, an editor and former staff writer of The New York Post’s Page Six wrote: “Broadway After Dark is a beautiful love letter to the Great White Way. Ward Morehouse III and father spin some of the most interesting tales I’ve ever read about New York’s glorious theater district.” “No one is more qualified to write the history of Broadway’s landmark Hudson Theatre than Ward Morehouse III,” writes Frederick M. Winship, United Press International cultural critic-at-large.
