Musical Theatre: A History is a new revised edition of a proven
core text for college and secondary school students - and an
insightful and accessible celebration of twenty-five centuries of
great theatrical entertainment. As an educator with extensive
experience in professional theatre production, author John Kenrick
approaches the subject with a unique appreciation of musicals as
both an art form and a business. Using anecdotes, biographical
profiles, clear definitions, sample scenes and select
illustrations, Kenrick focuses on landmark musicals, and on the
extraordinary talents and business innovators who have helped
musical theatre evolve from its roots in the dramas of ancient
Athens all the way to the latest hits on Broadway and London's West
End. Key improvements to the second edition: * A new foreword by
Oscar Hammerstein III, a critically acclaimed historian and member
of a family with deep ties to the musical theatre, is included *
The 28 chapters are reformatted for the typical 14 week, 28 session
academic course, as well as for a two semester, once-weekly format,
making it easy for educators to plan a syllabus and reading
assignments. * To make the book more interactive, each chapter
includes suggested listening and reading lists, designed to help
readers step beyond the printed page to experience great musicals
and performers for themselves. A comprehensive guide to musical
theatre as an international phenomenon, Musical Theatre: A History
is an ideal textbook for university and secondary school students.
