Seller also recalled his first meeting with Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton creator Miranda: "When I met Lin, he came into the office with a band of incredible young creators, and he was still a substitute teacher at Hunter High School. He was a substitute teacher with that dream. And everything we've done from that moment 'til now has been about care, nurture, and you know what else, fun."

“I love musicals, I love Broadway, and I love New York. This book is a pure expression of that love,” Seller said in an earlier statement about Theater Kid.

“When we read Jeffrey Seller’s memoir, we realized it possessed many of the same qualities of the landmark musicals he’s produced,” added Simon & Schuster President and CEO Jonathan Karp. “It is authentic and heartfelt and audaciously entertaining. Anyone who loves theatre will find communion in this book. It would also make a good musical.”
