About the Item
Song & Dance The Complete Story of Stage Musicals Kurt Ganzl Hardcover Book.
Publisher : Smithmark Pub (January 1, 1995)
Language : English Hardcover : 240 pages
Dimensions : 9.5 x 1 x 12 inches.
A history of stage musicals in the United States and Europe as well as an illustrated collection of some of the most memorable. This book does a very good job starting with what Gånzl holds are the proto-musicals, the opera-bouffes of the 19th century and follows the genre through the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, Strauss’s Viennese concoctions, the French farce musicals of the 1920s (a great fan of these, Gånzl acutely regrets that they were so bowdlerized in translation they never got an audience outside France) and the birth of the Broadway musical (though he scoffs at the idea the musical is a uniquely American form, and certainly makes his point) before ending at BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
While covering general trends, Gånzl also highlights both the big successes, major songs and the shows and creators that redefine the genre and the various shows’ success in revivals, tours and international productions become a hit.

- Broadway Musical Martin Gottfried Large Hardcover BookLocated in North Hollywood, CABroadway Musical Martin Gottfried 1984 hardcover book.Large heavy book. A colorful tribute to the great Broadway shows of our time. Profusely illustrated in color. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc. Title Broadway Musicals Author Gottfried, Martin Format/Binding Hardcover Binding Hardcover Publisher Harry N. Abrams Place Of Publication NY Date Published 1984 395 illustrations, 112 in full color. Great oversized heavy coffee table art book. A true treasure of a book. This is a very large book, and not just width wise. It is very tall too. There are many pictures, a lot of them in color. They have some of the rarest flops featured toward the back of the book, and the classics are all here too. Some high points are the run-through of how they make (made) "Annie" run every night. There is also a synopsis of "Hello Dolly" which helpful since I have only seen the movie. There is a flaw though, and it is not insignificant. The author does not separate fact from opinion. Example: "Sweeney Todd does not hold a place in the theater". This book came out the same year "Sweeney Todd" did(1979), so it might be just a bit early to say that. Obviously, he is a critic, but he should have took that hat off ,and taken on the role of an author who looks at the facts.("Sweeney" is just one of the hows that gets criticized.) Colorful entertaining masterpiece with many of these Broadway Musicals some of them are THE WIZ...Category
