Bringing together scholars from musicology, literature, childhood
studies, and theater, this volume examines the ways in which
children's musicals tap into adult nostalgia for childhood while
appealing to the needs and consumer potential of the child. The
contributors take up a wide range of musicals, including works
inspired by the books of children's authors such as Roald Dahl,
P.L. Travers, and Francis Hodgson Burnett; created by Rodgers and
Hammerstein, Lionel Bart, and other leading lights of musical
theater; or conceived for a cast made up entirely of children. The
collection examines musicals that propagate or complicate normative
attitudes regarding what childhood is or should be. It also
considers the child performer in movie musicals as well as in
professional and amateur stage musicals. This far-ranging
collection highlights the special place that musical theater
occupies in the imaginations and lives of children as well as
adults. The collection comes at a time of increased importance of
musical theater in the lives of children and young adults.
