Actor-musicianship is a permanent feature of the musical theatre
landscape. Actor-musician shows can be seen from Bradford to
Broadway, from village halls to international arena tours. However,
with the exception of a couple of academic papers, there has been
nothing written about this fascinating area of theatre practice.
Jeremy Harrison's book addresses this deficit, operating as both a
record of the development of the actor-musician movement and as a
practical guide for students, educators, performers and
practitioners. It explores the history of actor-musicianship,
examining its origins, as well as investigating - and offering
guidance on - how this specialist form of music theatre is created.
It, in turn, acts as a means of defining an art form that has to
date been left to lurk in the shadows of musical theatre; a subset
with its own distinctive culture of performer, maker and audience,
but as yet no formal recognition as a specialism in its own right.
The actor-musician show is multifarious and as such this book
targets those interested in mainstream commercial work, as well as
alternative and avant-garde theatre practice. The book draws
together expertise from a range of disciplines with contributions
from many of the leading figures in this field, including
performers, directors, teachers, MDs, producers and writers. It
also features a foreword by theatre director John Doyle.
