From the favorites of Tin Pan Alley to today's international
blockbusters, the stylistic range required of a musical theatre
performer is expansive. Musical theatre roles require the ability
to adapt to a panoply of characters and vocal styles. By breaking
down these styles and exploring the output of the great composers,
Songwriters of the American Musical Theatre offers singers and
performers an essential guide to the modern musical. Composers from
Gilbert and Sullivan and Irving Berlin to Alain Boublil and Andrew
Lloyd Webber are examined through a brief biography, a stylistic
overview, and a comprehensive song list with notes on suitable
voice types and further reading. This volume runs the gamut of
modern musical theatre, from English light opera through the
American Golden Age, up to the "mega musicals" of the late
Twentieth Century, giving today's students and performers an
indispensable survey of their craft.
