Musicals : the complete illustrated story of the world's most popular live entertainment Upplaga 3

A second update of Kurt Ganzl's hugely popular and respected Musicals, first published in 1995. The stage musical today stands at the centre of popular culture once again, with both new musicals and fresh revivals of old favourites packing in audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Musicals charts each significant turns in the development of musical theatre, through over 300 photographs and incisive, informative text. Fully updated to include recent successes such as 'We Will Rock You', 'Tonight's the Night' and 'The Full Monty' in London, and 'The Producers' on Broadway, the text also features musicals which have successfully made the transition from stage to screen, such as 'West Side Story' and 'My Fair Lady'.
