Book review/Interview of Joel Grey's "Master of Ceremonies"
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

What Were They Thinking: Ten minutes and 83 Years with Joel Grey “But if you could see her through my eyes/She wouldn't look Jewish at all.” ~ Lyrics from “Cabaret” There were three things that 9-year-old Joel Grey – then Joel Katz – feared most while living on Cleveland’s east side in the 1930s and 1940s: his mother’s erratic mood swings, the rampant antisemitism that awaited him around every corner, and that others would learn that he was attracted to boys. These fears are the threads that run through the world-renowned entertainer’s new, immediately accessible memoir “Master of Ceremonies” (Flatiron Books), the writing of which he called “painful but liberating ” in a 10-minute phone interview with the Cleveland Jewish News upon the book’s release.
