Mates shows the musical stage in all its guises--from burlesque
to musical comedy to grand opera--from its beginnings in
pre-Revolutionary America to the present day. He deals sensitively
with the recurrent aesthetic question of popular versus highbrow
art and also looks at critical reactions to popular theatrical
forms of musical entertainment. He introduces the reader to various
types of theatrical companies, the changing repertory, and the many
kinds of musical performers who have animated the stage. Mates
focuses on the creative relationships between the different forms
of opera, the minstrel show and circus, melodrama and dance,
burlesque, revue, vaudeville, and musical comedy.
