Experiencing Broadway Music: A Listener's Companion explores
approximately the last century of American musical theater,
beginning with the early-twentieth-century shift from European
influenced operettas and bawdy variety shows to sophisticated works
of seamlessly integrated song and dance that became uniquely
American. It concludes with an examination of current musical
trends and practices on Broadway. As a musician who works on
Broadway and in developmental musical theater, Kat Sherrell draws
on her knowledge both as a historian of Broadway musical form and
as a professional Broadway musician to offer an insider's
perspective on the development and execution of the past and
present Broadway scores. Despite its enormous breadth, and given
the historical significance of the musical in modern popular
culture, Experiencing Broadway Music provides listeners-whether
they know musical theater well or not at all-with the tools and
background necessary to gain an understanding of the highly
variegated structure and character of the Broadway musical over the
past century.
