Rarely is a book about the theatre as entertaining and informative
as Stephen Citron's new guidebook to the creation of the musical.
Filled with anecdotes, practical advice, and sparkling comments
from the biggest Broadway insiders, The Musical from the Inside Out
examines this major theatrical form from the creator's point of
view. Mr. Citron takes the reader through basic training and onto
finding and securing material, writing the libretto, adding the
songs, auditioning the players, workshopping, rehearsals, previews,
and the excitement of opening night. He reveals the secrets of
success as well as some of the common pitfalls of failure. "There's
never been a book like this," wrote a columnist from London's West
End. Mr. Citron's bounty of information comes from his own vast
experience; from interviews with well-known directors, producers,
lyricists, composers, librettists, stage managers, and scenic
artists; and from such luminaries as Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd
Webber, Jerry Herman, Hal Prince, Jerome Robbins, Jerry Bock,
Sheldon Harnick, John Kander, and Fred Ebb. The Musical From the
Inside Out is an adventure for musical fans and required reading
for professionals or amateurs involved in creating a musical.
