Hollywood's conversion to sound in the 1920s created an early peak
in the film musical following the immense success of The Jazz
Singer. The opportunity to synchronize moving pictures with a
soundtrack suited the musical in particular, since the heightened
experience of song and dance drew attention to the novelty of the
technological development. Until the near-collapse of the genre in
the 1960s, the film musical enjoyed around thirty years of
development, as landmarks such as The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St.
Louis, Singin' in the Rain, and Gigi showed the exciting
possibilities of putting musicals on the silver screen. The first
of three volumes, The Politics of the Musical Theatre Screen
Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook traces how the genre of the
stage-to-screen musical has evolved, starting with early screen
adaptations such as the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie Roberta
and working through to Into the Woods (2014). Many chapters examine
specific screen adaptations in depth, while others deal with broad
issues such as realism or the politics of the adaptation in works
such as Li'l Abner and Finian's Rainbow. Together, the chapters
incite lively debates about the process of adapting Broadway for
the big screen and provide models for future studies. Volume I: The
Politics of the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation Volume II: Race,
Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation Volume III:
Stars, Studios, and the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation
