Paris and the Musical explores how the famous city has been
portrayed on stage and screen, investigates why the city has been
of such importance to the genre and tracks how it has developed as
a trope over the 20th and 21st centuries. From global hits An
American in Paris, Gigi, Les Miserables, Moulin Rouge! and The
Phantom of the Opera to the less widely-known Bless the Bride,
Can-Can, Irma la Douce and Marguerite, the French capital is a
central character in an astounding number of Broadway, Hollywood
and West End musicals. This collection of 18 essays combines
cultural studies, sociology, musicology, art and adaptation theory,
and gender studies to examine the envisioning and dramatisation of
Paris, and its depiction as a place of romance, hedonism and
libertinism or as 'the capital of the arts'. The interdisciplinary
nature of this collection renders it as a fascinating resource for
a wide range of courses; it will be especially valuable for
students and scholars of Musical Theatre and those interested in
Theatre and Film History more generally.
