Twenty-First Century Musicals stakes a place for the musical in
today's cinematic landscape, taking a look at leading contemporary
shows from their stage origins to their big-screen adaptations.
Each chapter offers a new perspective on a single musical,
challenging populist narratives and exploring underlying narratives
and sub-texts in depth. Themes of national identity; race, class
and gender; the 'voice' and 'singing live' on film; authenticity;
camp sensibilities; and the celebration of failure are addressed in
a series of questions including: How does the film adaptation
provide a different viewing experience from the stage version? What
themes are highlighted in the film adaptation? What does the new
casting bring to the work? Do camera angles dictate a different
reading from the stage version? What is lost/gained in the process
of adaptation to film? Re-interpreting the contemporary film
musical as a compelling art form, Twenty-First Century Musicals is
a must-read for any student or scholar keen to broaden their
understanding of musical performance.
