Most books on the American musical are little more than exercises
in nostalgia. The specially commissioned essays that make up
Approaches to the American Musical take a different view of the
form. Going beyond the common assertion that musicals are simply
escapist; these examinations of American stage and film musicals
argue that Porgy and Bess, Top Hat, Kiss Me Kate and All That Jazz
were popular precisely because they engaged with such important
American issues as ethnicity, commerce and international relations.
