A one-stop, up-to-date source for information on the history of the
American musical theatre, Stage It with Music packs an astonishing
quantity and variety of facts as well as insights and anecdotes
into a convenient dictionary format. Coverage extends from the
genre's nineteenth century beginnings to the present day, from The
Black Crook (1866) to Jelly's Last Jam (1992). Included are entries
on over 300 individual shows, musical series, performers,
composers, lyricists, librettists, directors, designers, music
directors, orchestrators, choreographers, producers, producing
companies and other theatrical institutions, and on other subjects
and genres relating to musical theatre. Among the latter are
entries on British Imports, Dance in Musicals, Flop Musicals,
Locations of Musicals, Operetta, Pastiche Musicals, and Tony
Awards. As fascinating as its subject, Stage It with Music will
serve the researcher seeking a specific fact, but he or she may
find it hard to stop there. Extensive cross-referencing will lead
to masses of related material, and most researchers will not be
able to resist browsing well beyond the original quest. Thoroughly
indexed, the volume also includes a chronology of the musicals
covered as separate entries and a bibliography of general works on
musical theatre.
