Series Statement:
Routledge key guides
Content:
This volume in the Routledge Key Guides series provides a round-up of the fifty musicals whose creations were seminal in altering the landscape of musical theater discourse in the English-speaking world. Each entry summarises its chosen show with information about the writers, director and choreographer of the original production, its dates and cast list, a full synopsis, discussion of its creators' process, its critical reception, the show's impact on the landscape of musical theatre, and a further reading list. This is the ideal primer for students of musical theatre - its performance, history, and place in the modern theatrical world - as well as fans and lovers of musicals.
