Story
In Neva Small: Not Quite an Ingenue, the Broadway and film actress whimsically traces the highlights of her life though the music that has carried and nurtured her, both professionally and personally. Having worked closely with such musical and theatre giants as Bob Merrill, Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Bernstein, and Bock & Harnick, Neva's selections just as easily trace the history of the golden age of popular music
as they do her own maturation from a teenager on Broadway in Henry, Sweet Henry to her signature role of Tevye's daughter, Chava, in the film classic, Fiddler on the Roof, to the release of her hit CD, “My Place in the World.” A devoted wife and mother, Neva shares the challenges and rewards of balancing a life in music with real life.
