From patriotic "God Bless America" to wistful "White Christmas,"
Irving Berlin's songs have long accompanied Americans as they fall
in love, go to war, and come home for the holidays. Irving Berlin's
American Musical Theater is the first book to fully consider this
songwriter's immeasurable influence on the American stage.
Award-winning music historian Jeffrey Magee chronicles Berlin's
legendary theatrical career, providing a rich background to some of
the great composer's most enduring songs, from "There's No Business
Like Show Business" to "Puttin' on the Ritz." Magee shows how
Berlin's early experience singing for pennies made an impression on
the young man, who kept hold of that sensibility throughout his
career and transformed it into one of the defining attributes of
Broadway shows. Magee also looks at darker aspects of Berlin's
life, examining the anti-Semitism that Berlin faced and his
struggle with depression. Informative, provocative, and full of
colorful details, this book will delight song and theater
aficionados alike as well as anyone interested in the story of a
man whose life and work expressed so well the American dream.
