One of her most painful childhood memories is of her mother singing \"The Hills Are Alive\" while young Emma crossed the street en route to a babysitting gig. Mum said the music would keep muggers at bay. Emma found it warded off friends, a social life, and any chance of appearing normal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome people would slice off their arm with a plastic knife before they'd sit through \u003cem\u003eFiddler on the Roof\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eThe Sound of Music\u003c\/em\u003e. But musicals are everywhere, and it's about time someone asked why. Emma Brockes firmly believes that, in this world, our lives might be much better lived to a Broadway score. Smartly written and incredibly witty, \u003cem\u003eWhat Would Barbra Do?\u003c\/em\u003e is part memoir, part musical history tour, and, at its heart, the touching story of a daughter, a mother, and how musicals kept them together.
