Description

Understanding Musical Theatre: A New Approach to Analysis This book offers a fresh perspective on musical theatre analysis, providing students with the tools they need to understand and articulate how musicals work. At the heart of any musical lie its music and lyrics, yet this area is often misunderstood. Through identifying methods of lyric and musical analysis, readers can gain insight into the structure and purpose of musical numbers, as well as the character's emotional journey. By applying these techniques to ten different musicals throughout history, students can develop a deeper understanding of the art form and its ability to evoke emotions in audiences. A practical guide for anyone involved in musical theatre, this book provides a structured approach to analysis, making it easier to articulate the abstract feelings that are inherent in this art form.
