In The Mikado to Matilda: British Musicals on the New York Stage,
Thomas Hischak provides an overview of British musicals that made
their way to Broadway, covering their entire history up to the
present day. This is the first book to look at the British musical
theatre with reference to those London musicals that were also
produced in New York City. The book covers 110 British musicals,
ranging from 1750 to the present day, including the popular Gilbert
and Sullivan comic operettas during the Victorian era, the Andrew
Lloyd Webber mega-musicals of the late twentieth century, and
today's biggest hits such as Matilda. Each London musical is
discussed first as a success in England and then how it fared in
America. The plots, songs, songwriters, performers, and producers
for both the West End and the Broadway (or Off Broadway) production
are identified and described. The discussion is sometimes critical,
evaluating the musicals and why they were or were not a success in
New York.
