Acclaimed through three editions for its uniquely informative and
entertaining style, this fourth edition of Stanley Green's "World
of Musical Comedy" updates and enlarges the theatrical scope to
include such recent shows as "A Chorus Line, Barnum, They're
Playing Our Song," and "Annie," In a format that provides
biographies of all the leading figures in the musical's
development, Stanley Green manages to convey the spirit of the
Broadway stage, its musical make-believe, and yet remain objective
about the creative swings in its history and the careers of its
individual creators. Everyone is here: Victor Herbert, Sigmund
Romberg, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, the
Gershwins, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Frank Loesser, Lerner and
Loewe, Stephen Sondheim, Cy Coleman, Marvin Hamlisch, and many
others--not in a quick run-through but in vivid detail accompanied
by pertinent interviews and photographs.This latest edition
contains an expanded appendix that lists the casts, credits, songs,
and recordings of every Broadway musical written by these
illustrious and industrious composers and librettists. As always in
a Stanley Green book, the research is exhaustive and impeccable,
the presentation enjoyable, the judgments fair. From America's
foremost theater historian, here is another edition of a classic
theater chronicle.
