Published November 11, 2026
Promotional press release highlighted the upcoming Larry Fuller memoir, Dancing Through Life: A Broadway Memoir of Luck and Talent. Written with Kergan Edwards-Stout and forthcoming from Bloomsbury, the book is scheduled for May 13, 2027, according to a release distributed through EIN Presswire.
The memoir is expected to explore Fuller’s career as a Broadway dancer, choreographer, and director, offering personal recollections of productions, professional collaborations, and life behind the curtain.
The announcement also highlights his experiences growing up gay in mid-20th-century America and navigating the entertainment industry during periods of changing social attitudes.
Although the November 11 press release brought additional publicity to the project, Dancing Through Life was already listed for preorder. It is therefore a promotional update rather than the book’s first public announcement.

Bloomsbury Australia’s official listing gives June 10, 2027, for the same hardcover (ISBN 9781350672789).

Readers can check the official Bloomsbury book page for edition information and availability.
The Larry Fuller memoir draws on a theatrical career spanning more than seven decades, including Fuller’s experiences on Broadway, London’s West End, and international stages.
Rather than focusing exclusively on productions and performances, the memoir also examines the relationships and personal circumstances that shaped Fuller’s life in theater.
What Dancing Through Life Is Expected to Cover
According to the publisher’s description and the November 11 announcement, Dancing Through Life recounts Fuller’s Broadway career alongside the personal relationships and experiences that shaped his identity in the entertainment industry.
The promotional account also describes rehearsals, backstage encounters, and Fuller’s recollections of prominent entertainment figures.
The promotional description mentions Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Elizabeth Taylor, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon, and Nathan Lane among the personalities connected to Fuller’s experiences.
These accounts are presented as personal memories rather than independently verified descriptions of private events.
The memoir is also expected to address Fuller’s early life in Missouri, where he was born in 1938, and his eventual move to New York to pursue a career in dance and theater.
A significant part of the announced narrative concerns his experiences as a gay man during an era when discrimination and pressure to conceal one’s sexuality affected many individuals in the entertainment industry.
Through these recollections, the book aims to examine the relationship between personal identity and professional life.
Its subject matter connects with broader interests in LGBTQ+ theater history, the development of American musical theater, and the experiences of performers whose contributions were not always visible to audiences.
Larry Fuller’s Broadway Career and Musical Theater Contributions
The career documented in the Larry Fuller memoir includes work as a performer, choreographer, and director across several decades of musical theater.

According to the Internet Broadway Database, Fuller received a 1980 Tony Award nomination for Best Choreography for Evita. He also earned Drama Desk Award nominations associated with Sweeney Todd and Evita.
His credits distinguish between choreography and dance or movement responsibilities. For example, he is credited with choreography for Evita and Merrily We Roll Along, while his work on Sweeney Todd is listed as dance and movement.
Fuller also worked internationally, including productions in London’s West End, expanding his career beyond New York theater.
The November announcement connects his professional experiences with figures such as Stephen Sondheim, Harold Prince, and Michael Bennett.
