Description
Explore the rich and diverse history of musical theatre in this comprehensive textbook. Contrary to popular perceptions, musical theatre has developed through interactions between the West End and Broadway, and this book delves into these connections to reveal a more nuanced understanding of the art form.
From its European and American origins to its evolution through African American influences, the 'Golden Age', the 'British Invasion', and 'Megamusicals', this book offers a fresh and alternative approach to understanding musical theatre history. With multiple thematic 'histories' and case studies, students can gain a deeper understanding of the medium's development and its ongoing transformation.
Featuring new models and styles, revival culture, and the impact of social media, this textbook provides an accessible study of musical theatre history, ideal for undergraduate students of the subject.
