In examining the relationship between the spectacular, iconic and
vibrant New York of the musical and the off-screen history and
geography of the real city-this book explores how the city shaped
the genre and equally how the genre shaped representations of the
city. Shearer argues that while the musical was for many years a
prime vehicle for the idealization of urban density, the
transformation New York underwent after World War II constituted a
major challenge to its representation. Including analysis of 42nd
Street, Swing Time, Cover Girl, On the Town, The Band Wagon, Guys
and Dolls, West Side Story and many other classic and little-known
musicals-this book is an innovative study of the relationship
between cinema and urban space.
