The In-Between

Rezensionen / Stimmen

They say magicians should never reveal their secrets. But in exposing the inner workings of so many showstopping performances, Anderson pulls us all under the theater's spell - holding our breaths as we race toward that moment when the room is hushed and everything is possible, just before the curtain goes up. * New York Times * Jenny Anderson is a magician with the camera. She is able to capture every detail of a moment with one click of a button. Many times, she has caught me in my most joyful moments and I believe it is a privilege to be lensed by such an amazing being. * Cynthia Erivo * Jenny brings that rare unparalleled breed of artistry to her photography: one that marries craftsmanship with trusted companionship. She has the special ability to capture the candid spectrum of emotion for so many of us in key moments by providing such trust, genuine support, and comfortability with her sharp vision, stunning taste, and her heart that prioritizes memorializing those special moments for us in the way we feel the most seen and understood. * Ashley Park * Jenny Anderson is the first photographer who truly captured who I feel I am on the inside. When I look at Jenny's photos I see my true self. Not the version of myself others have told me to be. * Laura Benanti * Jenny Anderson has become a unique treasure of the American Theatre community. The same way that Hirschfeld's drawings interpreted the artists and productions of the theatre in his time, so do Jenny's photographs today. We open up our dressing room doors to Jenny with love and respect. She is the finest theatre photographer of our generation. Her work captures the vulnerability and magic of an art form that is live so that it can live on forever. I can't wait to see what art continues to come from her. * Annaleigh Ashford * Jenny's talent goes deeper than capturing the moment and getting the shot. She has something far more special that only true artists have - she is able to tap into the uniqueness and singularity of her subjects and because of that, she brings out their essence in each and every photo. When you look at her work, you feel you truly know the person she's photographed, and that you've learned something new about them you may not have seen previously. That, coupled with her generosity, her easy going vibe and her kind soul, is what makes her at the top of every artist and producer's wish list. There's simply no one else like her. * Caissie Levy * The time in one's dressing room is a unique one. You are vulnerable, not quite yourself and not quite your character. But somehow, Jenny [Anderson] can enter that space and the actor feels safe enough for her to capture more of themselves with the character just peeking through. It's a bit of a magic trick, really. * Stephanie J. Block * I remember recently looking at a candid photograph she took and thinking 'she captures the best of us because she is ONE of us.' She doesn't make herself invisible when she takes your picture. She's just her. Jenny Anderson. Magical, generous, funny, self effacing, deep, emotional her. When Jenny takes your picture she makes you feel seen. And comfortable. Not judged. The theater, this ephemeral art form we've dedicated our lives to, endures because of Jenny. * Celia Keenan-Bolger * I don't fully understand how Jenny so effortlessly captures the joy of being a stage actor but I'm so glad she has shared her gifts with the New York theater community. We are endlessly lucky to have her in our family. * Jesse Tyler Ferguson * Jenny is like the most beautiful fly on the wall. You can feel the kindness and generosity of her spirit at all times, but she manages to adapt and meld so well into her surroundings that she can capture so much truth and comfort in her subjects. * Ben Platt * Sensitive and soulful; there's a Jenny Anderson frame around some of the most special moments of my life. * Leslie Odom Jr. * Anderson shares more than 100 of her pictures-including behind-the-scenes shots of hit shows and rarely seen pictures of some of the industry's greatest talent-in a coffee table book that's a must-have for any theater aficionado. * Town & Country * A visual love letter to stage actors and a treat for fans of Broadway theater. * Library Journal * If "a picture is worth a thousand words," this book is worth a trunk full of Playbills. Alfred Eisenstaedt said that "It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter." Anderson clicks with the people in this treasure for Broadway fans. * Booklist *
