For the past several years, the American musical has continued to
thrive by reflecting and shaping cultural values and social norms,
and even commenting on politics, whether directly and on a national
scale (Hamilton) or somewhat more obliquely and on a more intimate
scale (Fun Home). New stage musicals, such as Come from Away and
The Band's Visit, open on Broadway every season, challenging
conventions of form and content, and revivals offer audiences a
different perspective on extant shows (Carousel; My Fair Lady).
Television musicals broadcast live hearken back to 1950s
television's affection for musical theatre and aim to attract new
audiences through the accessibility of television. Film musicals,
including Les Miserables and Into the Woods, capitalize on the
medium's technical capabilities of perspective and point of view,
as well as visual spectacle. Television has embraced the genre
anew, and with unexpected gusto, not only devising musical episodes
for countless dramatic and comedy series, but also generating
musical series such as Galavant and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. And
animated musicals, such as Disney's Moana, hail child and adult
audiences with their dual messages, vibrant visual vocabulary, and
hummable music. The chapters gathered in this book, Volume II of
the reissued Oxford Handbook, explore the American musical from the
various media in which musicals have been created to the different
components of a musical and the people who do the work to bring a
musical to life.
