‘Rent’ Producer Jeffery Seller Reveals How Adoption & Sexuality Influenced Broadway Work in New Memoir ‘Theater Kid’


Seller is best-known for his work on productions like Rent, Avenue Q and In the Heights and his new memoir details his journey on Broadway.

The producer’s resume speaks for itself, with three Best Musical Tony Award-winning Broadway shows under his belt for his work on productions like Rent, Avenue Q and In the Heights. Released May 6, the new memoir is a coming-of-age tale that follows a young Seller before the accolades and star-studded career, at a time when he was juggling life living in a poor neighborhood just outside of Detroit. The book touches on Seller’s sexuality, adoption and his longing to create in a world that didn’t foster creativity, and how he found his place — and belonging — in the Broadway community.
